DataBlur is described as 'Blur or redact sensitive data on your screen in one click — before you share, record or screenshot. Auto-detects emails, cards, API keys. 100% local' and is a Privacy Tool in the security & privacy category. There are five alternatives to DataBlur for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and iPad apps. The best DataBlur alternative is GNOME Obfuscate, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like DataBlur are BlurData, Blurweb, BlurSnap and Redacted.

Auto-redact PDFs, screenshots and images on macOS. Detects emails, names, addresses, IPs, URLs, amounts and account numbers automatically. 100% offline. Much more with PII Community presets.






BlurSnap is a Windows screenshot utility built around an inverted workflow: instead of capturing a screen and then hunting for sensitive details to hide, the capture opens fully blurred and you paint to reveal only the parts you actually want to show.



Redacted is a fast and efficient way to quickly hide sensitive parts of an image, using a blur, pixelation or black bar. Just drop an image into the app or paste it in and make your changes. Then share on social networks right from the app.
