Hide anything by hand

Cover an email, a name or a whole panel in a couple of clicks. Change the look any time before you share.

  1. Open your screenshot in the editor and choose Redact.
  2. Drag over what you want to hide.
  3. Pick a style: Pixellate, Blur, Redact for a solid block, or Erase to fill it with the color around it. Choose a rectangle or an ellipse.

Hide just the words

Cover a whole chat or form and keep its layout. With Text coverage, only the lines of text are hidden, so the bubbles, fields and buttons still show.

  1. Choose Redact and drag over the whole area.
  2. Under Coverage, choose Text.
  3. Pick a style. Only the text inside is hidden.

To hide a few words, select them with Copy Text and click Redact selected.

Let SimplyShot find it

Turn on detection and SimplyShot looks for keys and tokens, card numbers, emails, phone numbers, addresses, faces and barcodes in every screenshot. It runs on your Mac, and nothing is hidden until you say so.

  1. In Settings → Privacy, turn on Automatically detect sensitive screenshot content and pick what to look for.
  2. Take a screenshot. If it finds something, Quick Access shows a Sensitive info badge.
  3. Open it in the editor and click Review sensitive info. Under Redact, tick All, or only the kinds you want hidden.

Detection can make mistakes. Look over the result, and hide anything it missed by hand.

Before you share

Use a solid block for secrets

Blur and Pixellate soften what's underneath. For passwords, keys and card numbers, choose Redact: a solid block shows nothing.

Hold automatic sharing

If your captures copy, save or upload on their own, set After capture to Review in Editor in Settings → Privacy. SimplyShot opens the editor instead when it finds something.

Pick what to look for

Addresses, faces and barcodes are off at first. Turn on the ones that show up in your screenshots.

Everything Redact and Sensitive info do

Share the shot, keep the secrets.
