OfflineMask turns AI redaction into a copy-paste ritual
OfflineMask is a desktop tool that replaces personal details in text or supported files with tokens before users send them to an AI, then restores the details in the reply.
- For
- People handling customer or employee information with AI
- Worth noticing
- The page says PDF and image files are unsupported; Vietnamese name and address detection requires an optional language package.
Field notes
The workflow preserves a mapping between detected details and their replacement tokens so the AI's response can be restored afterward. The page shows support for common spreadsheet and document formats, while explicitly excluding PDFs and images. It says the optional Vietnamese package adds name, address, and organization detection; the base feature list includes items such as phone numbers, account numbers, email, and passwords.
