Local AI that finds sensitive files on your Mac before attackers do
VaultSort has introduced 'Guardian,' a local AI tool for Mac that scans files for sensitive information like financial records and identity documents. The tool operates entirely on-device to ensure user privacy by preventing data from being sent to the cloud.
Why it matters
As data privacy concerns grow, on-device AI solutions offer a secure way for users to manage and protect sensitive personal information without third-party exposure.
Menu Home Guardian ✦ Introduced in VaultSort 4.4.0 🔒 On-device · Zero network calls Find what should be locked. Lock it. Guardian scans the folders you choose for identity documents, financial records, credentials, and medical files — entirely on your Mac.

For exactly the files Guardian looks for, that's self-defeating — 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 — you decide what happens next.
The report lives only in memory. Guardian doesn’t create a persistent map of your sensitive files on disk.
