# Never Leak Sensitive Data Again.
Detect and mask PII in documents before sharing with AI, cloud services, or third parties. Names, emails, phones, SSNs, credit cards, IBANs, Saudi IDs, Mada cards, Arabic names & 30+ entity types — 100% offline.
Upload, review, and export sanitized documents in seconds
Anywhere you'd normally paste sensitive content into an AI tool — maskr scrubs it first.
Hundreds of customer records pasted into a model — names, IBANs and national IDs walk out of the bank in plain text. maskr scrubs all three before you hit send, and keeps the analysis context intact.
Contracts have client names, addresses, ID numbers. Copilot only needs the structure — not the parties' identities. maskr masks the identifiers and leaves the clauses untouched.
Patient records carry national IDs, contact info, MRNs — protected under PDPL and HIPAA. maskr removes the identifiers before the notes ever reach an AI assistant.
CVs contain names, phones, emails, sometimes ID numbers — and unintended bias signals. maskr anonymizes them so AI ranking is fair, and your pipeline stays PDPL-safe.

macOS Users: Since maskr is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, macOS may block it from opening. To fix this, run:
xattr -cr /Applications/maskr.app
This removes the quarantine flag that macOS applies to downloaded apps.
Hi — I'm Yasser Aldosari, a Riyadh-based CISO. After eight years across Saudi fintechs and banking cybersecurity — including time as an Information Security Researcher at SAMA — I kept seeing the same scene: someone pastes customer data into ChatGPT for "just a quick question," and there's no good tool that handles Saudi National IDs, Iqamas, Mada cards or Arabic names well. maskr is the tool I wanted to exist. It's still in beta — if you find a rough edge or want a feature, email me. I read every message.
dl.maskrapp.com to check the latest version number — that's it. Air-gapped environments work fine if you skip the update check.xattr -cr /Applications/maskr.app — that's safe and one-time. The app's code isn't actually modified.Found a bug, have a question, or want to talk enterprise? Drop us a line — we read every message.
