About Sanitizer
Convert, sanitize, and index documents locally before anything reaches an LLM. AI assistants are at their best when they can read your project documents, and at their most dangerous when those documents carry things they were never meant to see. Sanitizer prepares document packages that are safe, light, and built for how AI actually reads. Turn large project files into a clean, searchable knowledge base so teams get faster, more precise answers with less noise.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
