It use openai/privacy-filter which is smaller than 1GB in size. I haven't checked usage during inference. It rans at 1k toks/sec on my macbook. I will update the repo with benchmark results. Thanks for the comment

I wanted to implement the feature initially. i realized that it requires modification of coding agents (eg codex, claude code, opencode etc). hook or skills pass PII data into server eventually so i decided to share the standalone app first. Feel free to submit a PR!

Show HN: Local personal data redaction for any AI tools

https://github.com/sophia486/pii-gui

I built the desktop app that detects and redacts personal data (or PII) locally without sending any text to server. It supports rule-based filtering and AI model-based redaction (eg openai privacy filter). It's open source and free. Please check out the repo and https://pii-gui.vercel.app/

I shipped an enhanced fork of Parlor (by Fikri Karim https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47652007) that reads various visual inputs and uses Supergemma 4 E4B + Supertonic TTS to run a fully local, multimodal, and multilingual AI assistant. It runs entirely on your machine.

What it does:

1. Talk to your screen: It reads and understands your webcam, screen sharing, PDFs, and video at once.

2. Native Multilingual: It can speak five languages: English, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
