How to use AiScrubber safely before sending text to an AI tool.

AiScrubber is built for a very specific moment: you want help from an AI model, but your text contains emails, phone numbers, names, client details, or operational context that should not leave your control. This guide shows the safest workflow from paste to export.

1. Start with the Workspace

Open the workspace and paste the text you want to sanitize. Keep each scrub request focused and review the source text before processing. AiScrubber rejects oversized text to keep the browser responsive and predictable.

2. Run the Scrub Protocol

When you initialize the scrub, AiScrubber scans locally in your browser and replaces detected sensitive patterns with placeholders such as EMAIL_1 or PHONE_2. Your raw text is not sent to a backend server because this project is currently a static browser tool.

3. Review the LLM-ready Output

Read the sanitized output before copying it into another AI product. Automated scrubbing can miss unusual formats, so treat the result as a safer draft rather than a legal compliance guarantee.

4. Understand the Vault

The vault maps placeholders back to original values. Use it only when you need to re-identify the sanitized text later. You can export an encrypted vault file or a password-protected vault PDF.

5. Export Carefully

TXT, DOC, PDF, encrypted vault, and protected vault PDF exports are generated in your browser. Store them carefully, especially vault files, because they contain the information needed to reverse the masking.

6. Recover Accidental Closures

If you close the tab by accident, AiScrubber can recover the latest workspace from browser localStorage. This data stays on your device until you reset the workspace or clear site storage.
