About Veil: Redact & Hide Info
Every document you share says more than you meant it to — a name here, an account number there, an address in the corner. Veil helps you find it and take it out before the document ever leaves your hands. Point your camera at a letter or import a PDF, and Veil reads the whole page right on your iPhone. In seconds it flags the personal information it recognizes. You review what it found, tap any other word to hide it, and Veil redacts it for good. WHY VEIL • Truly removed, not just covered. Secure mode flattens each page to an image, so redacted text can never be copied, searched or recovered from the file — and exported PDFs drop the original's hidden metadata, like author and title. • On-device by design. Detection runs entirely on your iPhone. Your documents are never uploaded and the originals never leave your device. • You stay in control. Nothing is redacted until you've reviewed it. Add your own “always redact” terms, and choose which of twelve categories Veil looks for. • Two detection engines. Start instantly with the built-in engine, or, on recent iPhones, download the more thorough on-device model once (about 800 MB). It stays on your phone. • Ready to share. Export a clean redacted copy to send with confidence, or keep it locked in your encrypted vault. WHAT VEIL LOOKS FOR Names · Organizations · Addresses · Phone numbers · Email addresses · Dates of birth · SSNs & tax IDs · Credit card numbers · Bank account numbers & IBANs · Passport numbers · Reference, customer & policy numbers · IP addresses Automatic detection is a first pass, not a guarantee — which is why you always get the final say. NO ANALYTICS — SO TELL ME Veil has no analytics and no accounts. It can't tell me what it missed, so if it missed something, tap “Something wasn't detected?” and let me know. It opens your own mail app, and nothing is sent until you send it. PERFECT FOR Sharing bank statements, pay stubs, tax letters, medical forms, leases and legal paperwork — with lawyers, landlords, support agents, an AI assistant, or anyone who only needs part of the picture. Your information is yours. Veil makes sure it stays that way.
What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 6, 2026
• Missed something? A new “Something wasn't detected?” button on the review screen and in Settings lets you tell me. It opens your own mail app — nothing is sent until you send it. • Better at US documents: Social Security numbers with or without dashes, ITINs, EINs, and labelled bank routing numbers. • Better at forms and tables: Veil now connects a label to its value even when they sit in different columns or blocks, like an invoice or payslip. • Fewer false alarms on German payslips and invoices.
