About BlurData
BlurData is a Mac application for removing personal information from PDFs, screenshots, and images. It automatically detects common personal data types, including emails, names, addresses, IP addresses, URLs, monetary amounts, account numbers, and license plates. Users can also add custom regular expressions to detect internal IDs, JWTs, API keys, or ticket numbers.
The app has two modes. Redact mode covers selected data with a colored bar and removes it from the file structure on export. Pseudonymize mode replaces people, addresses, and amounts with consistent labels such as [PERSON_1], so text can be read by an AI tool or colleague. The key linking labels to the real data stays on the user's Mac. The homepage states that detection and rendering run on-device and that no cloud upload is needed. Sending pseudonymized copies to external AI services such as ChatGPT or Claude is a separate step the user chooses to take. The homepage describes the tool as built for GDPR and HIPAA workflows, but this is a design description, not a certification of compliance.
