I constantly have to take screenshots, and then overwrite sensitive information on them. Doing it by hand is boring, which means you need to automate the process.

**Placeholder** for iOS automatically scans screenshots for private information and overwrites it.

Supported:

- phone numbers, email;
- faces, QR codes;
- names and names of streets, organizations;
- numbers of cards, cars, passports;
- IP addresses.

When you start the application, it will immediately ask you to select an image from the smartphone gallery. Then it will automatically hide all personal information.

On the bottom panel, you can change the type of hiding to strip, pixels, blur, marker or complete text removal. When you tap on any text, it will also be automatically hidden.

When everything is ready, the image can be simply saved.
