Drag to scrub

One tap from
oversharing to safe.

Open any screenshot and Scrubshot has already found the private details. Tap a box to show it, drag to hide anything else, then save or share a clean copy.

  • Finds 14 kinds of private info in chats, receipts, tickets, bank apps and photos.
  • Black bars or heavy pixelation that can't be reversed. Never blur.
  • A brand-new image, so hidden location and device details don't come along.

Just say what to hide

Type it like you'd say it. Apple's on-device AI finds it for you.

the address

Zoom, draw, adjust

Pinch to zoom, draw a box over anything, then move or resize it. Undo and redo every change.

Remove hidden details

Strip location, date and device info from the copies you share. The original can go straight to Recently Deleted.

Photos, too

Hide faces and cover plates, documents and names in any photo, not just screenshots.

Your latest screenshot, ready

Scrubshot keeps your newest screenshot one tap from clean, with every redacted copy in its own album.

Works where you share

Redact without leaving the app you're in.

From the share sheet

Take a screenshot, tap the thumbnail, then Share → Scrubshot. Fix it up and you're back where you were.

Quick Scrub

In the share sheet's actions, Quick Scrub hides everything on your list in one tap and saves the copy. No editor needed.

Back Tap & Action Button

Add the ready-made shortcut and one gesture takes a screenshot, redacts it and saves it to your Redacted album.

Private by design

Nothing leaves your iPhone. Ever.

A privacy app that uploads your screenshots to find the private bits would defeat the point. Scrubshot's detection and AI run entirely on your device.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does Scrubshot upload my screenshots?

No. Detection, the describe-to-hide AI and the redaction itself all run on your iPhone. Scrubshot has no account and no servers, and your images never leave your device.

How much does Scrubshot cost?

It's free to download, and your first 5 redactions include every feature. After that, Scrubshot Pro is a one-time purchase of $4.99 with Family Sharing. There's no subscription, and drawing boxes by hand stays free.

Can black bars or pixelation be undone?

No. Scrubshot draws a brand-new image with the redactions burned in, using solid black bars or very coarse pixelation. It never uses blur, which can sometimes be reversed.

Does it work with regular photos, not just screenshots?

Yes. Scrubshot hides faces and text such as names, plates and document numbers in any photo.

Can Scrubshot redact screenshots automatically?

iOS doesn't let apps react to screenshots on their own, but Scrubshot includes a ready-made shortcut you can put on Back Tap or the Action Button: one gesture takes a screenshot, redacts it and saves it.
