argus-redact

Locally redacts PII from text before it reaches a cloud AI, then restores it in the reply

Desktopfree

argus-redact is an open-source tool that locally detects personal data such as names and phone numbers in text and replaces it with a fresh pseudonym before the text is sent to a cloud AI provider, then restores the original data in the model's reply. It is aimed at developers building products on cloud LLM APIs who need to limit what personal data reaches the provider, offered as a Python library, a command-line tool, and an MCP server.
