Whiteout lives in your menu bar, watches your screenshots, and quietly hides anything private before it ever leaves your Mac.

How it works
Use your normal shortcut, like always. Whiteout watches your screenshots folder quietly in the background.
Whiteout reads the image right on your Mac and checks for personal info. If it finds any, it saves a clean copy instantly.
The original is tucked safely away. You send the clean version. Nothing private slips out, ever.
The thing you never notice
That quick screenshot you sent has your home address, a credit card, and a private message sitting in plain sight.
Whiteout covers all of it before you hit send.
Why Whiteout
It runs on its own, stays on your Mac, and never asks you to think about it.
No cloud, no uploads, no account. Whiteout reads your images using built-in macOS features and nothing else. What's on your screen stays on your machine, full stop.
The moment Whiteout spots something private, it saves a redacted version and moves your original to a safe backup folder. You share the clean one without a second thought.
11 kinds of sensitive data out of the box: SSNs, credit cards, addresses, phone numbers, and more. Turn any of them on or off, and mark your own details as safe so they're never flagged.
Whiteout finds exactly where the text sits and covers it with crisp black rectangles. No messy blur, no half-visible characters, nothing that can be undone.
