PII Remover: Clean Text for AI
Clean Text Before AI Sharing
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Before you paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — run it through PII Remover. Emails, phones, SSNs and 9 more types caught and stripped in under a second.
PII Remover is a privacy-first utility for anyone who works with AI tools daily.
Before you send a document, support ticket, meeting note or code snippet to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot — make sure it's clean.
WHAT IT DOES
Paste or open any text file. PII Remover instantly scans for 12 types of personal data and highlights every match in yellow on the left panel.
The right panel shows the sanitized result, ready to copy.
DETECTED AUTOMATICALLY
· Email addresses
· Phone numbers (US & international)
· Social Security Numbers
· Credit card numbers
· Street addresses
· Passport & driver's license numbers
· Bank account numbers
· IP addresses
· ZIP codes
· Dates of birth
· URLs
· And more via risk scoring
BUILT FOR PRIVACY
Everything runs 100% on your Mac — no internet connection, no cloud, no telemetry.
Your text never leaves your machine.
SIMPLE BY DESIGN
Two panels. Paste left, copy right. Open .txt and .md files directly.
Drag and drop supported. That's it.
RISK INDICATOR
Each scan shows a risk level — Low, Medium, High or Critical — based on
the sensitivity of what was found, so you know exactly how much was at stake.

New in this update:
• Spanish, German and French and Russian — the full UI is now localized, including detection labels and replacement tags in the cleaned output.
• Smarter detection for international documents — phone numbers (+7, +34, +49, +33), European dates (DD.MM.YYYY), Russian postal codes, SNILS, Spanish DNI/NIE, and street addresses in Cyrillic, German, French, and Spanish.
• Dark mode polish — PII highlights are now easy to read in dark mode, and the badge chips at the bottom no longer blend into the background.
• Visit the new website at pii-remover.com — linked from the app menu and the About screen.
