Automatic sensitive-info blur for screen recordings

Blur passwords, API keys,
and anything else on screen.

BlurAnything scans your screen recording for passwords, API keys, tokens, and desktop notifications and redacts them automatically — on your Mac, before the video ever leaves your machine.

Illustrated screen recording. Drag anywhere on the image.

How it works

Drop a clip. Pick a preset. Export.

  1. 01

    Drop your video

    Drag any .mp4, .mov, or .m4v onto BlurAnything. It loads instantly — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

  2. 02

    Pick a preset

    Choose Faces, License Plates, Screens & sensitive info, or any combination. No manual masking, no per-frame selection, no timeline scrubbing.

  3. 03

    Export

    BlurAnything detects, tracks, and blurs automatically, then saves a new file next to the original as filename_blurred.mp4.

  4. 04

    Review before you share

    Play the exported file directly inside the app to confirm the blur before you upload or send it anywhere else.

Who it's for

If you record your screen, this is for you.

Dev-tool & coding tutorial creators

Record a real terminal or IDE session without editing out every stray credential or .env value afterward.

SaaS demo & onboarding videos

Walk through your product on a real account without a Slack notification or API key leaking into the recording.

IT, support & internal Loom clips

Share a quick screen recording with a client or teammate without a password field or filename slipping through.

Why pixelate, not blur

Blur can be undone. Try it.

Gaussian blur

Looks private.

Pixelate — our default

Also looks private.

Real sharpening filter, running live in your browser. Nothing is faked.

Scene-aware, hardware-accelerated

Detection runs per-scene and tracks between cuts instead of re-scanning every frame, using your Mac's GPU and Neural Engine.

Fully on-device

Your footage never touches a server. No account, no cloud processing, no upload step, ever.

Audio preserved

The original audio track passes through untouched — no re-encoding, no sync drift.

Privacy

Not a policy promise. A design decision.

There is no upload step in BlurAnything to remove, because there was never one to begin with. Everything runs on your Mac.

  • Video processing stays offline; license checks send no video or file data
  • Anonymous app analytics and crash reporting are opt-in only
  • A verified license keeps working offline for up to 14 days
  • Pixelate is the default — Gaussian blur is reversible and carries a warning

The alternative

Most blur tools upload your footage.
We don't.

Questions

Sensitive-info redaction questions, answered.

What counts as “sensitive info” on screen?
Passwords, API keys, tokens, .env values, credential URLs, desktop notifications, and filenames — BlurAnything's PII rule engine is layered to catch all of these, not just one pattern.
How does it detect this stuff automatically?
On-device OCR reads on-screen text, then a layered rule engine (secret-scanning-style regex plus custom credential-URL matching) flags sensitive regions. Everything runs locally — no video or extracted text ever leaves your Mac.
Will it also blur desktop notifications?
Yes, with the Screens preset's Notifications sub-toggle — banners that pop up mid-recording get blurred automatically instead of ending up in the final export.
Is full sensitive-info redaction included on both plans?
Yes. Password/API-key/credential and notification detection is included whether you choose Monthly or Yearly — there's no separate feature tier.
How is this different from Loom, Camtasia, or Screen Studio?
Those tools record and edit screens but have no built-in sensitive-info detection — you're responsible for catching every credential yourself before sharing. BlurAnything is purpose-built to find and redact that content automatically.
Is BlurAnything a subscription?
Yes — $19.99/month or $29.99/year, both plans include full sensitive-info redaction. Cancel anytime.
Does my recording get uploaded anywhere for processing?
No. OCR, detection, and redaction all run locally on your Mac. Only license activation and periodic validation need a connection; a verified key has a 14-day offline grace period.

Your next screen recording probably has a password in it.
