Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

redactdesk-mac CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this project is

RedactDesk is an open-source (MIT) macOS app that redacts PII from PDFs entirely on-device. Text model + PDFKit + SwiftUI. The user name shown in-app and in marketing is "RedactDesk"; the Xcode target + source folders are still named "PII Redactor" from the original template (soft-rename - renaming the folders involves a risky pbxproj shuffle, deferred).

The bundle ID is com.kamban.redactdesk. The display name, bundle ID, and all user-facing copy were renamed from the previous "SafePaste" branding; the on-disk Xcode target and folder names were intentionally left alone.

Distribution: direct download from the team's website, not the Mac App Store. Repo is MIT so anyone can build from source for free; the signed, notarized binary is sold as a separate paid download. Don't propose MAS submission work (StoreKit receipt validation, MAS sandbox quirks, App Store Connect pricing) - it's explicitly off the roadmap.

The underlying ML pipeline is openai/privacy-filter (a token-classification model) running via ONNX Runtime with the CoreML execution provider. Exported PDFs use image-rewrite redaction: each page is rasterized, black boxes are painted over PII rectangles, and the result is a new PDF with no recoverable text layer for the redacted regions.

Build / run commands

# Debug build on Apple Silicon
xcodebuild -project "PII Redactor.xcodeproj" \
  -scheme "PII Redactor" -configuration Debug \
  -destination "platform=macOS,arch=arm64" build

# Universal Release (arm64 + x86_64)
xcodebuild -project "PII Redactor.xcodeproj" \
  -scheme "PII Redactor" -configuration Release \
  -destination "generic/platform=macOS" \
  ARCHS="arm64 x86_64" ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO build

# Resolve SPM deps (fixes "failed downloading" cache errors)
xcodebuild -project "PII Redactor.xcodeproj" -resolvePackageDependencies

The model is not bundled in the repo or the .app. First launch downloads the ~917 MB ONNX weights from HuggingFace Hub into ~/Library/Containers/com.kamban.redactdesk/Data/Library/Caches/huggingface/ and runs ModelMerger once to produce a self-contained merged .onnx. Subsequent launches reuse that cached file with no network.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
