About Traces

Locations, card numbers, IDs and faces, found and fixed on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded.

Free: the scan, everything it finds, rescans and three fixes. Clean-up, $3.99: fixes every photo found so far, all at once or one by one. Traces Lifetime, $9.99 once: every fix for good, automatic checks of new photos with a note when something turns up, and Clean Share.

No subscription. Prices are US prices; the App Store shows each country's own.

What you get

Card numbers in your screenshots
Traces reads the text in your screenshots and photos for card numbers, bank details, passwords, one-time and recovery codes, wallet recovery phrases and boarding passes. What it finds is outlined, and kept masked.
Photos that show where you live
Photos that carry their location, grouped into likely home, likely work and places you go often.
Fix it in one tap
Remove the location and keep the picture as it is. Cover the text or blur the faces in a copy that replaces the original. Move a photo to a Locked folder that opens with Face ID. Or delete it.
Your week, checked
Traces checks your new photos whenever you open it. This week shows what you took and what needs a fix, and suggests the screenshots you're done with: one-time codes that have expired and boarding passes for flights that have left.
Share a clean copy
Share any photo from the Photos share sheet without its faces, text or location. Your original stays exactly as it is. With Lifetime.
Nothing leaves your iPhone
Every check runs on your iPhone with Apple's own frameworks. Traces never connects to the internet, so it works in Airplane Mode. There's no account, no tracking and no server.
