FilKlar Desktop 2.0 · 100% Private & Local
The complete file and privacy suite for Mac & Windows

What you can do with FilKlar Desktop:
Privacy Guardian & «Sanitize for AI»
Scan PDFs and images for sensitive IDs, emails, and bank accounts. 1-click to sanitize text before pasting into ChatGPT or Claude, or export a redacted PDF.
Inspect and manage AI and provenance metadata
See which metadata the image contains, including Content Credentials, GPS and AI-related markers. Choose what you want to remove. FilKlar cannot guarantee how social media will classify or label the image.
100% Offline Local OCR
Turn scanned documents into searchable PDFs natively using Apple Vision on GPU/Neural Engine. Zero network traffic.
Watch Folders & Menu Bar Dropzone
Auto-compress PDFs dropped into monitored folders in the background, or use the floating menu bar tray for instant drag-and-drop.

Reclaim 20–80 GB from Ollama, HuggingFace, and Cursor caches, plus multi-pass cryptographic file shredding for confidential files.
Document Security & Threat Scanner
Detect embedded JavaScript, /Launch execution triggers, and disguised extensions (.pdf.exe) in attachments with 1-click neutralization.

Note for macOS: The first time you launch, macOS may show a security notice for new apps. Click "Open Anyway" in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
The Windows installer is not Authenticode-signed, so SmartScreen may ask you to confirm it. In-app updates use a separate Tauri signature. That signature does not make the installer a trusted Windows app.
