TopSecret — Redact & Blackout
Redact anything, for good
$4.99
Also Included In
Black out sensitive text and faces in images and PDFs — by hand or auto-detected — then export a copy where the hidden data is truly gone. All on-device.
TopSecret blacks out anything sensitive in an image or PDF — then exports a flattened copy where the hidden data is genuinely gone, not just hidden behind a rectangle.
Most "redaction" just draws a box on top. The text underneath is still there, still selectable, still recoverable. TopSecret rebuilds the pixels: the content under every bar is destroyed, so a redacted name, number, or face can't be selected, copied, or pulled back out of the exported file.
REDACT BY HAND OR AUTOMATICALLY
• Drag to draw a bar over anything. Move it, resize it, or delete it.
• Auto-Detect finds emails, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, card numbers, IP addresses, and faces — on this page or every page — in one tap.
• Find & Redact blacks out every occurrence of a word or number you type, with an optional fuzzy match that catches close spellings and OCR slips.
IMAGES AND MULTI-PAGE PDFS
• Import a screenshot, a photo, or a long PDF from Photos or Files.
• Step through every page — iPad adds a thumbnail rail alongside it.
• Sweep every page at once, or work page by page.
• Exported PDFs are rasterized, so nothing lingers underneath the bars.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
• Save an editable session and come back to it later — your bars, exactly where you left them.
• Export a flattened copy any time and share it straight from the app — Files, Mail, Messages, AirDrop, wherever it needs to go.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything happens on your device. All text and face detection uses Apple's on-device Vision framework.
• No network, no accounts, no telemetry. TopSecret only ever touches the file you hand it.
• One universal app for iPhone and iPad.
Redact anything, for good.
