Smart Blur – Auto-Blur PII in the Browser, with a OpenAI Local Model
Blurs emails, cards and personal info on screen automatically the moment a screen share starts
Smart Blur is a Chrome/Edge/Brave extension that detects screen shares and blurs sensitive data — emails, phone numbers, card numbers, and with Pro, names and addresses — using a local AI model, before anyone sees it. Nothing is uploaded: detection runs on-device, and free users can manually blur by clicking, drawing a box, or selecting text. It only works when a share starts from a browser tab; sharing from a desktop app bypasses its detection, so you'd need to turn blur on yourself. Pro costs $9.99/year or $39.99 once, with a 14-day refund.
What holds up
- +Runs fully on-device — screen content and PII are never uploaded anywhere
- +Detects when a browser-tab share starts and blurs automatically, no manual toggling needed
- +Lifetime option is $39.99 once instead of a recurring subscription
Mind the limits
- −Desktop-app screen shares aren't detected — you must turn blur on yourself before sharing
- −Local AI name/address detection is Pro-only ($9.99/year or $39.99 once); free only covers emails and cards
