The AI data barrier, solved. Anonymize sensitive documents before they reach any AI - then decode the response to restore the real values. 100% offline: nothing ever leaves your machine. Unlike enterprise PII tools built for dev teams (API keys, SDKs, cloud pipelines), promptShield is a desktop app a solo professional installs in two minutes. Detects names, emails, IBANs & more across 7 languages. Free for ever for individuals.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm a consultant, and promptShield started as a personal itch. Here's the thing nobody says (out loud): we're all using AI on client work - and we're all quietly downplaying it. For two reasons. One, we have no clean answer for the question "did you just paste my confidential file into ChatGPT?" Two - and this one runs deeper - the old world says an analyst is someone who writes the report. So if the AI wrote it, what are you even for? Admitting AI's role feels like admitting you're a fraud. But that definition is already dead. In the age of AI, an analyst isn't someone who writes the report - he's someone who vouches for someone else's report, someone else's solution. That's not a smaller job. It's a harder one (just ask managers). It takes more judgment, not less, to stand behind work and own the result in front of a client. The competence didn't go away - it moved. Once you see it that way, the shame disappears. You're not hiding that you used AI. You're doing the actual job: vouching. That leaves one real problem - the confidential data. And that one's just… solvable. So I built it. promptShield strips the names, emails, IBANs and addresses out of a document before anything reaches an AI, then decodes the AI's answer back on your machine so you get the real values. 100% offline - your documents never leave your laptop. No account needed to try it. The part that surprised me while building: every tool that already does this is aimed at enterprise dev teams - API keys, SDKs, procurement, cloud pipelines. There was nothing for the solo professional at a desk. So that's who this is for. Free for individuals. Stop hiding how you really work. Keep your edge, and keep your promise to your client. 🛡️ Would genuinely love your feedback - especially from other consultants, lawyers, and small firms.

Comment highlights

the offline angle plus decode-the-response is the part that actually makes this usable day to day, most anonymizers stop at the redaction step and leave you to manually restore everything after. question on the decode side though - if the AI paraphrases instead of echoing the placeholder back verbatim, like it refers to "the client mentioned in section 2" instead of repeating the exact token, does decode still catch that and restore the real name, or does it only work when the model quotes the placeholder directly

How does the offline decoding handle cases where the AI's response references the anonymized values in ways you didn't anticipate, like complex relational logic across multiple entities?

Finally tried this on a contract draft with client names and addresses, and it caught an IBAN I had forgotten was in there. Two minutes from download to running was not an exaggeration.
