Description
Cloak scans or imports your documents/photos, auto-detects text so you can redact sensitive info in a tap, then compresses and exports as JPEG or PDF. Built it after getting tired of manually blurring my own ID for visa/KYC paperwork. Everything processes on-device, nothing uploaded anywhere. Free. Would love feedback from this community.
