Drop a file. omitt redacts names, IDs, and faces right on your Mac. Paste the clean copy into ChatGPT, Claude, or anywhere. The original never moves.
By the time you notice a sensitive line went into ChatGPT, it's already on someone else's server.
Built for the moment between "I need to ask AI" and "wait, this has my passport on it."
Press Cmd+Shift+B from anywhere. Drag a PDF, image, or screenshot into the window.
omitt marks every name, ID, card and address it finds. Toggle each one. Add your own with one click.
The clean copy lands in your clipboard. Cmd+V into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or anywhere. The original never moves.
Different jobs, same five seconds before each paste.
Client names, addresses, SSNs are blurred locally. Privilege stays where it belongs - in your office.
SSNs, account numbers, addresses and income figures redacted locally. Your AICPA duty of confidentiality stays clean.
Customer emails, IPs, API keys gone before pasting into Claude for a debug.
Client names and proprietary numbers out before you ask AI to summarize. Your NDA stays clean.
Names, photos, ages off the resume before AI screens it. Lower bias. Lower EEOC exposure.
You don't need to be a lawyer to want one fewer thing to worry about before hitting Send.
Trained on the things people regret sharing. Add your own categories in one click.
There are four paths. Three of them keep your data moving. One keeps it home.
| ChatGPT Enterprise | Cloud redaction tools | omitt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $60 / user / mo | $24 / user / mo | $49 once |
| Original data leaves device | Yes | Yes | Never |
| Works offline (no network) | No | No | Yes |
| Works with Claude, Gemini, local AI | No | Some | Yes |
| You can verify what it does | Trust them | Trust them | Open detection engine |
| Time per document | 0 sec (no protection) | 30 sec | 3 sec |
Most "private" tools ask you to trust them. omitt is built so you don't have to.
A careful utility shouldn't be a subscription. Lifetime license. No upsells. No data resold.
The kind of details a careful person checks before installing software.
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.
You review every redaction before anything is copied. Side-by-side preview. Add manual redactions in one click. omitt suggests - you approve.
Two reasons. First: $60 per user per month adds up fast. Second: your data still leaves your device, just to a different server. ChatGPT Enterprise also doesn't work with Claude, Gemini, or local models. omitt cleans the data once - paste anywhere.
A federal court ruled in February 2026 that consumer AI conversations are not protected by attorney-client privilege. Some enterprise AI plans 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.
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.
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.
PDFs, images (PNG, JPG, HEIC), screenshots. Word and Excel arrive in v1.1. Video frames in v1.2.
macOS first. Windows beta in H2 2026. iOS and iPad after that. We're starting where users care most about local-first privacy.
Yes. The rules, regex sets and ML models that decide "this is a name" are published on GitHub. The app itself is proprietary. You can audit what we look for, even if you don't run the code.
You toggle it off in the review screen. omitt learns your preferences for next time on your machine - that pattern stays local too.
Private beta opens to 200 people. Early access gets Pro free for life - no card, no upsell, no follow-up emails except the invite.
