Features

Built for people who care about their data.

🔍

Cloak Diff Viewer

Side-by-side before and after. See exactly what the cloud will and won't see, with color-coded highlights.

🧠

Smart Entity Memory

CloakClaw learns your preferences. "Always cloak this company." "Never redact this city." Your rules, stored locally.

🔗

Consistency Engine

"Streakwave" becomes "Acme Corp" on every page. Consistent fakes mean the cloud LLM gives you better answers.

🎯

Confidence Heatmap

Visual overlay showing green (safe), yellow (maybe), red (cloaked). One glance shows your exposure level.

🎭

Realistic Fake Data

Not [REDACTED] — real-sounding names, plausible numbers, believable addresses. The cloud LLM doesn't know the difference.

📋

"What Did They See?" Report

After every interaction, get a clear summary of exactly what data left your machine. Share it with legal. Sleep better.

🔑

API Key Scanner

Specialized detection for code files — finds hardcoded tokens, secrets, connection strings, and .env values.

📂

Legal, financial, code, email, HR, medical — each type has tuned detection. Pick your profile or build your own.
