Field notes
The sample settings depict three built-in categories—Profanity, Blasphemy, and Borderline terms—alongside individual toggles and custom entries. A timing control shows 120 milliseconds before and 180 milliseconds after a match, while the illustrated review lists detected words and locations. The page presents local processing and untouched source files as design commitments; it does not offer a download or demonstrate the software running.
