Local AI that finds sensitive files on your Mac before attackers do

Guardian scans the folders you choose for identity documents, financial records, credentials, and medical files β€” entirely on your Mac.

Every β€œAI file organizer” that wants to understand your files does it by uploading them.

For exactly the files Guardian looks for, that's self-defeating β€” 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 β€” you decide what happens next.
