BeforeShare: Privacy Check
Scan Files Before You Share
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
See what's hiding in your files before you share them — location data, hidden metadata, redacted text, and more. Checked entirely on your Mac.
BeforeShare checks your photos and PDFs for anything you might not want to share — before you share them.
Every file you send can carry more than you realize: camera and phone models, exact GPS coordinates, the people and software that touched a document, comments and redlines left in a PDF, form fields, links and viewer actions, file attachments, and even text hidden underneath a black redaction box.
BeforeShare finds all of it in seconds, right on your Mac.
WHAT IT CHECKS
• Photo metadata — camera, lens, and settings
• GPS location — the exact place a photo was taken
• Personal information — names, emails, phone numbers, card and account numbers, and IP or web addresses found in scanned text
• PDF annotations, comments, and tracked changes
• Links and viewer actions inside a PDF
• File attachments hidden inside a PDF
• Form fields that may still contain data
• Text sitting underneath a "redacted" black box
HOW IT WORKS
Drop a file onto BeforeShare. It scans on your Mac using on-device OCR and pattern matching — nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your machine. You'll see a clear, color-coded list of everything found, sorted by how sensitive it is, so you know exactly what you're about to send.

PRIVACY, BUILT IN
BeforeShare only reads a file while you have it open for review. Your documents are never uploaded, and scan history stores summaries and masked values — not your original files or their full contents.
