PII GUI is a local-first desktop app for detecting and redacting personal information from PDFs, Markdown, and text files using regex or ONNX models. It runs entirely on-device with a Tauri 2 architecture, combining a React frontend with a Rust backend for privacy-focused document sanitization. The project's combination of local inference, true PDF redaction, and multi-backend detection fills a practical niche for privacy-conscious users.

Target audience: backend devs, security engineers, data engineers
