Guardian scans the folders you choose for identity documents, financial records, credentials, and medical files — entirely on your Mac. Free update for existing users · New to VaultSort? $24.99 one-time, no subscription For exactly the files Guardian looks for, that's self-defeating — you'd be handing your tax returns to a cloud API to find out they're exposed. Guardian runs entirely on your Mac instead. The analysis happens on-device, including reading text inside images. Nothing about your files leaves your Mac during a scan. Guardian never moves, changes, or deletes anything on its own. It reports what it finds — you decide what happens next. The report lives only in memory. Guardian doesn’t create a persistent map of your sensitive files on disk. A detected number pattern, a filename that says what it is, or on-device AI reading the content — Guardian looks for the files that shouldn't be sitting out in the open. Passports, driver’s licenses, Social Security cards — scans and photos of the documents that prove who you are.
