Whiteout

Desktop App macOS

What is Whiteout?

macOS menu bar app that watches screenshots and auto-redacts sensitive info (SSN, credit cards, API keys, addresses) fully offline.

Whiteout sits in your Mac menu bar, watches your screenshots, and auto-detects 11 types of sensitive info — phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, bank accounts, API keys, addresses, IPs, dates of birth, passport/license numbers, emails, and dollar amounts. Detects via on-device macOS text recognition (no cloud, no account), saves a clean redacted version with precise black rectangles (not blur), and tucks the original in a backup folder. Signed and notarized by Apple.
