Real Redact — PDF redaction that actually works (Mac demo)
Most PDF "redaction" just draws a black box — the text is still in the file, and anyone can copy it out. That's how the Manafort court filing leaked.
Real Redact removes the text for real: highlight one word and every instance is found and deleted from the file itself. Then drop the redacted PDF into ChatGPT or Claude — safely.
✅ One word → every instance, gone
✅ Auto-finds emails, phone numbers, SSNs, cards, dates
✅ 100% offline — no uploads, no account, zero network calls
Free to try on Mac → https://RealRedact.app
Windows coming soon.
