Redact PII from legal documents. Offline.
Lex Redactus automatically detects and removes personal information from contracts, settlements, and court filings — entirely on your computer. No cloud. No risk.
macOS and Windows. No credit card required for trial.
How It Works
Drop in your documents
Drag PDFs or DOCX files into the app. Everything stays local.
Review detected PII
The app highlights names, SSNs, addresses, and more. Accept, edit, or flag each entity.
Export safely
Download a redacted copy or an anonymized version safe for AI tools. Keep the entity map for decoding.
Built for Legal Professionals
Every feature designed around privacy, precision, and the real needs of attorneys handling sensitive documents.
100% Offline Processing
PII detection and redaction runs entirely on your machine. No document content is ever sent to any cloud service.
Smart Entity Detection
Pre-trained NLP model bundled with the install — no first-launch downloads, no network dependency. Recognizes 10 entity types: people, organizations, locations, addresses, SSNs, phone numbers, emails, case numbers, account numbers, and parcel IDs.
Entity Map (Rosetta Stone)
Every redaction produces a confidential mapping file. Person 1 = John Smith, Address 1 = 123 Main St. Stays on your machine.
Safe Cloud Upload
Export anonymized documents to safely upload to ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool for analysis — without exposing real PII.
PDF Tools Built In
Merge, split, and combine PDFs. Overlay redaction boxes. Generate clean redacted copies ready for filing.
Desktop-First
Native macOS and Windows app. No browser required. Works offline. Your documents stay in your control.
Custom PII Patterns
Teach Lex Redactus to recognize firm-specific entities — case prefixes, account formats, claim numbers — by pasting a few examples. The pattern engine infers the regex automatically. No coding required.
Always Up to Date
In-app update notifications with one-click install. New versions arrive quietly in the background — install them when you're ready. Verified Apple notarized; Windows installer signed.
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
We never see your documents. The app processes everything locally using on-device NLP. The only data that touches our servers is your license validation — never document content.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my data ever leave my computer?
No. All document processing, PII detection, and redaction happens entirely on your local machine. The only network call the app makes is a periodic license check-in (no document content is transmitted).
What types of PII does it detect?
Person names, Social Security numbers, physical addresses, case numbers, loan/account numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Detection uses a local NLP model (spaCy) plus custom regex patterns tuned for legal documents.
Can I use this to safely upload documents to ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Export an anonymized copy where all PII is replaced with tokens (Person 1, Address 1, etc.). Upload that to any AI tool. The entity map stays on your machine so you can decode the AI's response back to real names.
What happens if my subscription expires?
You get a 14-day grace period where the app continues to work normally (with a reminder). After that, the app enters read-only mode. Renewing restores full access immediately.
How many devices can I use?
Each license includes 2 device activations. You can deactivate a device at any time from the app settings to free up a slot.
Is there a free trial?
We offer a 14-day trial for new users. No credit card required to start.
What file formats are supported?
PDF and DOCX. PDF processing includes text extraction with position data for precise redaction box placement.
Can I teach Lex Redactus my firm's specific case number format?
Yes — the Custom Patterns tool (System tab) lets you paste a few examples of any entity format your matters use. Lex Redactus infers the pattern automatically and applies it to all subsequent detections in that matter.
What happens if Lex Redactus tags a name I don't want redacted?
Click the X next to the entity. You'll be asked whether to suppress it just on this document or across the entire matter. The Don't-Tag list is matter-scoped and you can revisit it any time from the Matter settings panel.
How do updates work?
Lex Redactus checks for new versions on launch and shows a banner if one's available. The download happens in the background while you keep working. When you click Install, the new version replaces itself and relaunches automatically. Updates are signed and notarized by Apple.
