by maciejonos·May 6, 2026·2 points·0 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidSolve My ProblemCozy
Local MLX model redacts PII without sending documents to the cloud.
Strengths
- •Apple Vision OCR handles scanned PDFs where embedded fonts hide text
- •Permanent rasterization means redacted text is actually gone, not hidden
- •Manual editing lets you adjust redaction rectangles before saving
Weaknesses
- •Apple Silicon only — MLX backend doesn't run on Intel Macs
- •PII redaction is a solved category with many existing tools
