Private PDF redaction apps

This cluster consists of web apps that redact sensitive information from PDFs and images entirely in the browser, often using WASM, with no server uploads or login required. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only two dated entries exist before the index start. Traction is led by file-password-remover and Zancta (1 star each), followed by safeshare-webmcp (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
