DMS is a privacy-focused tool that goes beyond simple metadata removal. While standard tools just wipe data, DMS features a "Spoofing Mode" that replaces sensitive information (GPS, device IDs, timestamps) with plausible noise to maintain file naturalness. Key features: Offline-first: Your files never leave your machine. Smart Spoofing: Randomizes GPS within the same region. Watch Folder: Automatically cleans any file dropped into a specific directory. Open source & Python-based.
Hi Hunters! I'm davvikq, the creator of DMS.
I built this tool because I realized that every time I shared a file, I was unintentionally "doxing" myself with GPS coordinates, device serial numbers, and exact timestamps (note: while most social networks strip this data by default, direct file sharing via messengers, email, or cloud storage often leaves it fully intact). Most online "metadata cleaners" felt like a trap ā why send private files to a remote server just to make them private?
DMS (Deceptive Metadata Shredder) is different because:
It's strictly offline: Your files never leave your machine.
The "Spoofing" Mode: Instead of just wiping data (which can look suspicious), DMS can replace it with plausible "noise".
Automation: I added a "Watch Folder" feature so you can just drop files into a directory and let the app handle the rest in the background.
The project is fully Open Source (MIT) because privacy tools should always be transparent. Iād love to hear your thoughts on what other file formats or privacy features I should tackle next!
Thanks for checking it out! š”ļø
