Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic regex/NER redaction are straightforward, but high-accuracy on-device OCR across varied documents/screenshots and integrating Apple's private on-device Foundation models with zero latency is technically complex.
What it would actually take: Building a robust version requires Swift/Objective-C leveraging Apple's Vision framework (VNRecognizeTextRequest) for on-device OCR, combined with CoreML or Apple Intelligence APIs running local NER models fine-tuned on PII/PHI categories. Handling complex document layouts (multi-column PDFs, tabular data) and vector PDF redaction without leaving residual vector text underneath requires low-level PDFKit/CoreGraphics manipulation.
