100% local · nothing is ever uploaded

Strip the PII before your data ever reaches an LLM.

RedactorBuddy removes names, accounts, and personal identifiers from financial documents on your own machine — so you can use external AI on the numbers without exposing the people behind them.

How it works

Three local passes. Zero uploads.

Each layer is more thorough than the last — and all of them run entirely on your hardware.

01

Extract

Pulls text and tabular data out of your document while keeping every number, category, and total in place.

PDF · CSV · XLSX · TXT · JSON · MD
02

Redact

Three stacked passes — fast regex, then Microsoft Presidio, then an optional local Ollama model — catch what the layer before missed.

regex → Presidio → Ollama
03

Verify & export

Scores residual PII risk and refuses to export if it's too high. You review, then ship a sanitized summary to any external LLM.

Features

Built for people who handle real financial data.

Math-aware redaction

Preserves numbers, categories, and financial calculations so downstream analysis stays accurate.

Fail-closed export

If residual PII risk crosses your threshold, export is blocked. Safety is the default, not an afterthought.

Local audit ledger

Every redaction is logged on-device for traceability — useful when someone asks what was removed and when.

Multi-format intake

PDF, CSV, XLSX, TXT, JSON, and Markdown in; a clean, shareable sanitized summary out.

Bring your own model

The optional LLM cleanup pass runs through local Ollama — no API keys, no cloud, no data egress.

Watched folders

Drop files into a monitored folder and let them process automatically — ideal for steady daily document volume.

The one promise that matters.

Raw financial documents must never leave the local machine. Everything RedactorBuddy does is built around keeping that true — and being honest about its limits.
