Everything I film, everything I shoot, anonymised on my own machine

Hi everyone,

A while back I filmed an interview with someone who agreed to talk on one condition: nobody could recognise them. I had to stay visible in the same shot, it was my interview.
Simple request.
I couldn't find a single tool that did it without a fight.

That wasn't new. I'd been juggling apps for a while: one for faces in video, another for photos, nothing decent for a whole folder.
And every good tool ran through the cloud. To blur someone's face, I first had to upload their video, unprotected, to servers I didn't know, in a country I didn't choose, for a length of time nobody told me.
Those rushes had children in them, a witness who had trusted me, people who never asked to be there. The only way to protect them was to hand them over to a stranger.

So I built HideLens Studio.

HideLens studio - The video studio with no cloud, and no faces left exposed

Your footage never leaves your Mac. And nobody in it stays recognisable. HideLens blurs every face automatically — in a video, a photo, or a whole folder at once, and live on your webcam in Zoom, Meet and OBS. It's a full editor too: subtitles, silence cuts, 9:16 reframe, transitions. No server, no account, no upload, no telemetry. Cut the Wi-Fi and it all still works. €9.99 once — €1.99 for the first 100.
