Lex CloakFeatures
Lex Cloak finds sensitive information in your PDFs and gives you the controls to redact it, all on your computer. Each feature below links to its full guide, because for sensitive work the documentation is part of the product.
Get started
Review and redact
Add your own redactions
Cover anything Lex Cloak did not flag: select text, draw a box with Shift and drag (then resize, move or delete it), or redact a whole page with R.
Read the guide →Headers, footers and page numbers
The repeating header and footer category finds content that repeats across pages and redacts it as a band. Page numbers are kept. How to turn it off.
Read the guide →How detection works
Lex Cloak runs detection on your computer, surfaces matches as red and amber boxes, and gives you category and confidence controls for review.
Read the guide →Identity profiles
Name the person you already know about, and Lex Cloak looks for the forms their details realistically appear in. Detection keeps looking for everyone else.
Read the guide →Signatures and handwriting
How Lex Cloak auto-detects signatures after each document scan, how to re-run the scan, and what the pre-download checklist warns about.
Read the guide →Triage for large documents
Triage opens on documents over about 50 pages and sorts pages into seven buckets so you decide what to keep and what to drop before redaction.
Read the guide →Page tools
Remove a page from the export with X, rotate a sideways or upside-down page, jump to a page, open the thumbnails panel, and the bird's-eye grid.
Read the guide →Red boxes and the review loop
How to work through the proposed redactions Lex Cloak found: red boxes, the sidebar match list, the scope-3 popup, sort, and the match-scope toggle.
Read the guide →Always Redact and Never Redact lists
How the device-local Always Redact and Never Redact lists work, the Always-beats-Never precedence rule, and where the lists live.
Read the guide →Export and save
Export text for AI tools
Export Text strips sensitive parts from a document before you upload to AI tools. Choose AI / LLM text output, label people by role, and set export styles.
Read the guide →Preview, checklist and download
How to preview the final black-box output before you save, what the pre-download checklist warnings mean, and how the Save dialog works.
Read the guide →Working sessions
A working session is your editing state for a document. How to save the .lexcloak.json sidecar, set a default, resume from the recent list, and where it lives.
