BeforeShare: Privacy Check

About this app

BeforeShare checks your photos and PDFs for anything you might not want to share — before you share them. Every file you send can carry more than you realize: camera and phone models, exact GPS coordinates, the people and software that touched a document, comments and redlines left in a PDF, form fields, links and viewer actions, file attachments, and even text hidden underneath a black redaction box. BeforeShare finds all of it in seconds, right on your Mac. WHAT IT CHECKS • Photo metadata — camera, lens, and settings • GPS location — the exact place a photo was taken • Personal information — names, emails, phone numbers, card and account numbers, and IP or web addresses found in scanned text • PDF annotations, comments, and tracked changes • Links and viewer actions inside a PDF • File attachments hidden inside a PDF • Form fields that may still contain data • Text sitting underneath a "redacted" black box HOW IT WORKS Drop a file onto BeforeShare. It scans on your Mac using on-device OCR and pattern matching — nothing is uploaded, nothing leaves your machine. You'll see a clear, color-coded list of everything found, sorted by how sensitive it is, so you know exactly what you're about to send. BEFORESHARE PRO A one-time purchase, not a subscription, unlocks: • Clean copies that strip risky data automatically • Custom detection rules for your own IDs, project codes, and patterns • Unlimited private scan history on this Mac PRIVACY, BUILT IN BeforeShare only reads a file while you have it open for review. Your documents are never uploaded, and scan history stores summaries and masked values — not your original files or their full contents.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
