Local data anonymization that never leaves your device

Anonymize sensitive data without it ever leaving your device

DataAnonymiser is a local-first data anonymization tool that detects and redacts PII — names, emails, phone numbers, IDs, addresses — in text and images, entirely on your laptop or your organization's devices. Nothing you process is uploaded, streamed, or sent to us. Review the placeholders, copy the clean output, and use it however you need — pasting into an AI tool is just one of many uses.

Residual-risk report

Review
  • Direct identifiers replaced with stable placeholders.
  • Specific date generalized for safer reuse.
  • No email, phone, or account pattern remains.

Privacy boundary

The app is useful because the boundary is simple.

User content stays inside the desktop app. Network access is reserved for account activation, signed updates, entitlement checks, and verified processing downloads.

Stays local

Text, images, extracted text, prompts, anonymized output, risk reports.

Allowed online

License activation, billing metadata, update manifests, signed downloads.

Never sent

Raw content, filenames that reveal content, entity maps, clipboard data.

Local workflow

From private input to safe, shareable output in three checks.

Detect

Find identifiers locally

Rules and local inference flag names, emails, phone numbers, IDs, dates, locations, and image-derived identity markers.

Replace

Preserve meaning with tokens

Sensitive values become stable placeholders such as [PERSON_1] and [ORG_1] so the task still makes sense.

Validate

Check residual risk

The output is scanned again before copy, with warnings for rare combinations or remaining direct identifiers.

Text and images

Paste notes, import text, code, or config files, or select screenshots and photos for anonymized text output.

Signed local packs

The public installer stays small. Entitled processing files download after activation and are hash-verified before use.

Copy-safe output

The copy action is scoped to anonymized text only, keeping risk notes and internal findings out of whatever you share next.
