Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

InvestigateRanks high on little evidence. Worth a look, but verify before committing.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.

<p>Hi Product Hunt! 👋</p><p></p><p>I’m the creator of TIM PG. The story behind the app started with an <strong>Excel file containing poorly deleted personal data</strong>. What began as a simple utility to fix this risk quickly evolved into a much more powerful solution. Today, <strong>countless professionals rely on ChatGPT and Claude daily</strong>, yet many frequently—and often unknowingly—<strong>share highly sensitive business or personal data with public LLMs</strong>. There was a clear, urgent need for a <strong>seamless way to prevent data leaks</strong> without the hassle of slow, manual editing.</p><p></p><p>That's why I built TIM PG. It is a comprehensive <strong>desktop workflow accelerator</strong> that runs <strong>strictly offline</strong> on your Windows machine, monitors your clipboard, and <strong>anonymizes sensitive patterns</strong> instantly with a simple shortcut.</p><p></p><p>The best part? It’s a <strong>two-way street</strong>. TIM PG doesn't just mask your data—it <strong>seamlessly restores your original sensitive information</strong> back into the AI’s response using hotkeys, so you never lose context.</p><p></p><p>To make data protection even easier, it features:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Smart Bubble technology</strong>, which alerts you when sensitive data is on your clipboard and lets you paste the protected content with a single click</p></li><li><p><strong>Document anonymization</strong> (for PDFs, Office, and other documents)</p></li><li><p><strong>Custom lists &amp; White lists</strong>, allowing you to define your own rules, sensitive patterns, and safe exceptions</p></li><li><p><strong>Smart Review</strong>, giving you full control to verify and approve anonymized documents before sharing</p></li><li><p><strong>Data recognition</strong> optimized for <strong>8 global regions</strong> right out of the box</p></li></ul><p>Tech-wise, the app is built with <strong>Avalonia</strong> and compiled using <strong>Native AOT</strong>. This ensures it is <strong>100% AI-free</strong>, runs <strong>entirely locally with zero cloud dependencies</strong>, starts instantly, and leaves an <strong>incredibly small memory footprint</strong> while delivering ironclad offline privacy with maximum speed.</p><p><br>The tool is <strong>free to download on the Microsoft Store</strong>, and you can fully test all its features with a <strong>14-day Business Pass for just a symbolic $1 USD</strong>. However, for the Product Hunt launch, the <strong>first 100 users can get this 14-day pass completely free</strong>!</p><p></p><p>Before downloading, you can also check out the <strong>"TIM PG in Action" video</strong> in the media gallery above to see exactly how it works in real-time.</p><p></p><p>You can download the app directly via the <a href="https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NB3BT0BLT5X?hl=en-us&amp;gl=US&amp;ocid=pdpshare" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TIM PG Microsoft Store Link</a>, and redeem your <strong>coupon code</strong> here:</p><p><a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=532540&amp;mstoken=3RVVM-P76CT-J6WX3-F3YDJ-VCCDZ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=532540&amp;mstoken=3RVVM-P76CT-J6WX3-F3YDJ-VCCDZ</a><br><br>Thank you for checking it out!</p>

<p>Does it work with any app you paste into, or only specific browsers and chat UIs?</p>

<p>I have needed to send files with personal info to AI multiple times and I had to edit the file a lot to make it non-sensitive. I'm pretty sure a lot of other people would have that problem and I'm not the only one. I will definitely check TIM PG out, good luck!</p>
