1.0.0

Native macOS app that hides faces and objects in a live camera feed or a saved video or image.
Everything runs on your own device: no accounts, no telemetry, nothing uploaded.

Install

1. Download apps-releases.dmg below and open it.
2. Drag apps-releases into Applications.
3. First launch only: right-click the app → Open → Open. It is ad-hoc signed rather than
   notarized, so Gatekeeper asks once.

Redact runs inside apps-releases, the launcher these apps ship in.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

What's in it

• Live camera or saved files. Redact a webcam feed as it runs, or drop in a video or image:
  see it untouched, apply the redaction, then export. Processed frames appear as they encode.
• Object tracking. A per-frame detector is not stable, and one missed frame is an unblurred
  face in the export. Redact follows each object between frames, so a blur survives a dropped
  detection and a pass behind someone else.
• Pick what to hide. Any of the 80 objects the bundled YOLO26n-seg model knows, or load your
  own Ultralytics model to detect something else.
• Box or Mask, pixelate or blur, with an intensity slider. Mask clips to the object's own
  outline so the background inside it stays sharp.
• Exports keep their audio, carry a small corner mark, and end on a short branded card.
• Updates. The version badge in the corner checks this page and installs from it.

Notes

• macOS only. The app is built on SwiftUI, AppKit, AVFoundation and CoreML.
• Redact's first launch compiles its bundled model into a cache under
  ~/Library/Application Support/apps-releases/Redact/; later launches reuse it.
• Converting a .pt or .onnx model needs Ultralytics installed
  (pip install ultralytics coremltools). Everything else works with nothing installed.
