For restricted environments
PDF redaction for air-gapped and offline networks
Some networks never touch the internet — defence programs, courts, investigations, protected health systems. Many online redaction tools need a server. Omitly's redaction does not.
Built to work disconnected
Installs offline
On macOS, the signed, notarised installer carries across on your approved media and installs without a connection. On Windows, the installer needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime: Windows 11 includes it. Older Windows 10, and any LTSC, Server or locked-down image without it, must have WebView2 installed before you cross the gap; otherwise the installer tries to download it. No account creation, no activation server.
Runs offline
Your licence is a file, not a phone-home check. Redaction, sealing and verification work fully offline; an RFC 3161 timestamp is opt-in, off by default, and needs a connection to a timestamp authority.
Verifies offline
Anyone with the Omitly desktop app can verify a sealed PDF offline, free and with no licence — the seal carries what the verifier needs.
Why cloud redaction can't follow you in
Upload-based tools are a non-starter on a segregated network — and a hidden dependency everywhere else. If your redaction tool needs someone else's server, your most sensitive workflow has an internet dependency and a third party in it by design.
Updates on your schedule
Releases ship as signed installers you can bring across the gap through your own change process. Nothing forces an online update, and no feature quietly stops working because a server went away.
Redaction that respects the gap
One installer and one licence file. Redaction needs no cloud.
