Elisio press kit

In one sentence

Elisio is a Mac app that finds and removes personal information from documents, entirely on your Mac, and checks the result before you share it.

Short description

Elisio redacts names, Social Security numbers, account numbers, addresses and dates of birth from PDFs, scans, images and Office files. It has no network access, needs no account, and blocks the save if anything it redacted can still be found in the new file.

Long description

Sharing a tax form, bank statement or ID shouldn't mean sharing everything on it. Elisio detects personal details in digital and scanned PDFs, PNG and JPEG images, text and CSV files, and Word and Excel documents. It understands US tax forms such as the W-2 and 1040 by their box labels, reads scanned and photographed pages with on-device text recognition, and remembers what to always redact or ignore. Unlike a black box drawn over text, Elisio removes the content itself and saves a new copy, leaving the original untouched. Before saving, it searches the new file for every redacted value and blocks the save if any can still be found. The app has no permission to use the network: documents never leave the Mac.
