Redact Anything is a business in show hn launch.

Profile

I built a tool to redact sensitive information from PDFs: https://redactanything.com The problem: Most "redaction" tools just draw black boxes over text. The text is still in the PDF and can be recovered with basic tools. Adobe's actual redaction works but it's manual and slow. What this does: - Upload a PDF (stays in your browser, never hits a server) - AI detects PII: names, SSNs, emails, phone numbers, addresses, dates, etc. - You review what it found and approve/reject - Download a PDF where the text is permanently removed from the content stream Technical details: - Frontend: React + PDF.js for rendering + pdf-lib for manipulation - NER model: Hugging Face Transformers (Xenova/bert-base
