Hide sensitive data
before you share.
Drop a file. omitt redacts names, IDs, and emails right on your Mac. Paste the clean copy into ChatGPT, Claude, or anywhere. The original never moves.
Your team uses AI.
Most of what gets pasted shouldn't.
By the time you notice a sensitive line went into ChatGPT, it's already on someone else's server.
That kind of fear is everywhere now. The "be careful" approach doesn't scale - because people are people, and AI is convenient. Samsung learned this in 2023, when engineers pasted internal source code into ChatGPT and the company subsequently banned generative AI on corporate devices (reported by Bloomberg).
Three seconds. No upload.
Built for the moment between "I need to ask AI" and "wait, this has my passport on it."
Drop or hotkey
Press Cmd+Shift+B from anywhere. Drag a PDF, image, or screenshot into the window.
Review the highlights
omitt marks every name, ID, email and phone number it finds. Toggle each one. Add your own with one click.
Paste into AI
The clean copy lands in your clipboard. Cmd+V into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or anywhere. The original never moves.
For people who can't
afford a "whoops."
Different jobs, same five seconds before each paste.
Redact the case file
before AI research.
Client names, addresses, SSNs are blurred locally. Privilege stays where it belongs - in your office.
Scrub the return
before AI review.
SSNs, account numbers, addresses and income figures redacted locally. Your AICPA duty of confidentiality stays clean.
Strip PII from logs.
Customer emails, IPs, API keys gone before pasting into Claude for a debug.
Clean the deck.
Client names and proprietary numbers out before you ask AI to summarize. Your NDA stays clean.
Hide the candidate.
Names, photos, ages off the resume before AI screens it. Lower bias. Lower EEOC exposure.
If it shouldn't be public, omitt it first.
You don't need to be a lawyer to want one fewer thing to worry about before hitting Send.
Finds what you'd forget.
Trained on the things people regret sharing. Add your own categories in one click.
The other ways
don't do this.
Most options keep your file moving through someone else's servers. omitt keeps it on your Mac.
| ChatGPT Enterprise | Cloud redaction tools | omitt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | ~$60 / user / month | ~$24 / user / month | $49 once |
| Where your file goes | OpenAI servers | Vendor's cloud | Stays on your Mac |
| Works offline | No | No | Yes |
| Locked to one AI vendor | Yes (OpenAI only) | No | No - paste anywhere |
| You can verify what it does | Trust their policies | Trust their policies | Open detection engine (at launch) |
| Time per document | Instant (no redaction layer) | ~30 sec (upload, process) | ~3 sec |
We can't see your files.
Here's how to check.
Most "private" tools ask you to trust them. omitt is built so you don't have to.

Questions worth asking.
The kind of details a careful person checks before installing software.
Does omitt see my files?
No. Everything - file reading, detection, redaction - runs on your Mac. We can't see what we never receive. The app makes no outbound network calls during processing. You can watch this in Activity Monitor.
What if it misses something sensitive?
You review every redaction before anything is copied. Side-by-side preview. Add manual redactions in one click. omitt suggests - you approve.
Why not use ChatGPT Enterprise?
Two reasons. First: roughly $60 per user per month adds up fast. Second: your file still leaves your device - it just goes to OpenAI's servers instead of someone else's. ChatGPT Enterprise also locks you to OpenAI, while omitt cleans the file once and lets you paste into Claude, Gemini, or any AI you choose.
What about my profession's confidentiality rules?
In February 2026, Judge Rakoff of the SDNY ruled in United States v. Heppner that conversations with a consumer AI tool (Claude) are not protected by attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine. Some enterprise AI plans (ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Enterprise) now offer BAA paths for healthcare, but the underlying issue remains: your data has left your device. omitt keeps the protected information on your machine - so the privilege/HIPAA/NDA question never arises in the first place.
What happens after my first year of Pro?
Your app keeps working forever. You only pay $24/year if you want to keep receiving new detection categories, OS compatibility updates, and browser extension fixes. No subscription trap - just an honest renewal for ongoing development. This is the CleanShot X model and it works.
Why one-time for individuals but subscription for teams?
Because solo professionals shouldn't pay forever for a careful utility - they should own it. Teams need ongoing administration, audit logs, and shared profiles, which is what a subscription pays for. Pay-as-you-go for what's a service. Pay-once for what's a tool.
Which file types work?
At launch: PDFs, images (PNG, JPG, HEIC), and screenshots. Word and Excel support is on the roadmap. Video frames after that. Waitlist members get to vote on what ships first.
Mac only?
macOS first. Windows and iPad are on the roadmap - we'll let waitlist members know when each is ready. We're starting where users care most about local-first privacy.
Is the detection engine open source?
Yes - that's the commitment. The rules, regex sets and ML models that decide "this is a name" will be published on GitHub at launch. The app itself stays proprietary. You'll be able to audit what we look for, even if you don't run the code.
What if I find a false positive or negative?
You toggle it off in the review screen. During beta, that kind of miss is exactly the feedback that shapes the detection rules.
One small habit.
Before every paste.
Private beta opens to 200 people. Early access gets Pro free for life - no card, no upsell, no follow-up emails except the invite.
