Description
Drop a court filing PDF in and FileCheck tells you whether your redactions are real. It finds text still hiding under black boxes or annotations (the copy-pasteable kind), flags SSNs, dates of birth, account numbers and possible minors' names, checks metadata, and produces a page-numbered checklist PDF with the file's SHA-256. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded. Free redaction check, $79 once for the full audit. A review aid, not legal advice.

Could you build this?
Yes Can be vibe-coded as a client-side or local app using PDF parsing libraries (like pdfjs or PyMuPDF) to inspect vector layers, extract underlying text, and run regex/NER for PII.
