promptShield - Anonymize client docs before you paste them into AI

byβ€’
The AI data barrier, solved. Anonymize sensitive documents before they reach any AI - then decode the response to restore the real values. 100% offline: nothing ever leaves your machine. Unlike enterprise PII tools built for dev teams (API keys, SDKs, cloud pipelines), promptShield is a desktop app a solo professional installs in two minutes. Detects names, emails, IBANs & more across 7 languages. Free for ever for individuals.

Hi Product Hunt πŸ‘‹ I'm a consultant, and promptShield started as a personal itch. Here's the thing nobody says (out loud): we're all using AI on client work - and we're all quietly downplaying it. For two reasons. One, we have no clean answer for the question "did you just paste my confidential file into ChatGPT?" Two - and this one runs deeper - the old world says an analyst is someone who writes the report. So if the AI wrote it, what are you even for? Admitting AI's role feels like admitting you're a fraud. But that definition is already dead. In the age of AI, an analyst isn't someone who writes the report - he's someone who vouches for someone else's report, someone else's solution. That's not a smaller job. It's a harder one (just ask managers). It takes more judgment, not less, to stand behind work and own the result in front of a client. The competence didn't go away - it moved. Once you see it that way, the shame disappears. You're not hiding that you used AI. You're doing the actual job: vouching. That leaves one real problem - the confidential data. And that one's just… solvable. So I built it. promptShield strips the names, emails, IBANs and addresses out of a document before anything reaches an AI, then decodes the AI's answer back on your machine so you get the real values. 100% offline - your documents never leave your laptop. No account needed to try it. The part that surprised me while building: every tool that already does this is aimed at enterprise dev teams - API keys, SDKs, procurement, cloud pipelines. There was nothing for the solo professional at a desk. So that's who this is for. Free for individuals. Stop hiding how you really work. Keep your edge, and keep your promise to your client. πŸ›‘οΈ Would genuinely love your feedback - especially from other consultants, lawyers, and small firms.

Finally tried this on a contract draft with client names and addresses, and it caught an IBAN I had forgotten was in there. Two minutes from download to running was not an exaggeration.

Β This made our day - thanks for putting it through a real contract. πŸ™ The forgotten IBAN is exactly the case we built for: it's never the fields you remember, it's the one buried at 11pm before you hit send.

Fun test if you want to prove the offline claim to yourself: flip on airplane mode and run it again - same result, nothing leaves your machine.

And if you ever hit a performance wall with the free offline web app, the desktop app is built for the heavier lifting.
Thanks for being the first to take it for a real spin! πŸš€
