Most AI privacy tools are a policy promise; your data still hits their servers. masked.chat is different: personal information is detected and masked locally, on your device, using a mix of rule-based checks and a local LLM- before anything reaches an AI model. Nothing identifying ever leaves your device. Works across 200+ models. No signup needed. Free Tier 2 month free pro plan: WELCOME100 2 month 50% premium plan: WELCOME50

Partial The UI and integration are straightforward, but reliable on-device PII detection needs careful rule design, local model selection and tuning, and a real privacy and security audit before anyone should trust it.
What it would actually take: Build a browser extension or desktop app that intercepts prompts, combining regex and NER rules for emails, phones, IDs and names with a small local model (for example via Ollama or ONNX). The hard part is measured recall and precision across languages and formats, plus an independent security review to back the 'nothing leaves your device' claim. That requires NLP and privacy-engineering experience and a labeled evaluation set.
