Frequently asked questions

Does my video get uploaded anywhere?

No. Detection and blurring run locally with MediaPipe. After install, the app can work without the internet for the main workflow; files are not sent to the cloud to blur.

How does Pro work?

One-time purchase. You receive a license key by email, paste it into the app on your Mac. The license works offline after activation.

Which formats are supported?

Video: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM. Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP. Output is typically MP4 for video and PNG for images, depending on the app flow.

Does it run on Apple Silicon?

Yes — universal builds for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
