BlurData

What it does

BlurData is a native Mac app that finds and removes personally identifiable information from PDFs, screenshots and images. It detects emails, names, addresses, IPs, URLs, amounts, account numbers and license plates, then either redacts the data or replaces it with consistent labels. All detection and rendering happens on-device, so files never leave your Mac.

BlurData is a Mac app for removing personal data from PDFs and screenshots before you share them. You drop a file in, and it highlights emails, names, addresses, IPs, URLs, amounts, account numbers and license plates automatically. You can either redact the data so it is gone, or pseudonymize it with labels like [PERSON_1] so the text still reads. All processing runs on-device, with no cloud upload and no internet needed. It also handles batch redaction of whole folders. The app is available for Mac and iOS. Pricing includes a subscription at $79 per year for one Mac, or a one-time payment of $149, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Before you rely on it, check that detection covers your document types and languages, and test batch processing on a small folder first.
