One click hides what shouldn't be shared

SnapDuck reads the text in your selection with the recognition built into Windows — offline — and covers only the sensitive values, not the labels around them.

  • Emails, card numbers (checksum-verified) and IP addresses
  • API keys and tokens: OpenAI, GitHub, AWS, Google, Slack and more
  • Recognition can miss details. Check before sharing and add manual blur or pixelation where needed.

Add a watermark for each recipient

Label the purpose or recipient and add a trace code. Search a readable code in local history to find the corresponding sharing record. Cropping or editing may make the code unreadable.

  • Tiled, single, stamp or corner styles
  • Or a simple label like "Internal use only"
  • Save presets, or add one to every capture
