Adding Mirror Veil under Cloaking > Text, alongside Stegcloak.

What it does. Redacts names, phone numbers, emails and other identifiers out of a chat or message export before you hand it to a lawyer, a therapist or an LLM.

Against the listing requirements:

  • Open source — yes, MIT, all of it.
  • Own your data — the tool is a single HTML file you download and open. There is no upload, no account and no server, because there is nothing to upload to. It keeps working with the network disconnected, which is an easier way to verify that than trusting a policy.
  • No user-tracking — disclosing this properly rather than letting you find it: the tool itself makes zero network calls, but the project page on justlay.me does run Google Analytics, so if that fails your bar I am happy to point the entry at the GitHub repo instead, or at the raw single-file download. Your call, and no hard feelings either way.

Why it is not just another pattern-based redactor. It builds an alias graph, so every identifier belonging to one person maps to one stable token. Pattern matchers turn "Mike", "Mikey" and his phone number into three unrelated blanks and destroy the thread; this keeps it readable, which matters when the entire point is that someone else has to be able to follow the conversation.

I am the author, disclosed up front.

Offline, single-file PII redactor for chat and message exports. MIT licensed.
