Shademere FAQ
Short answers about on-device redaction, review, exports and pricing.
What does Shademere do?
It redacts PDFs and photos on your iPhone and iPad. You import a file, review every page, then export a new flattened PNG or image-only PDF with approved marks burned in solid black.
Does processing happen on my device?
Yes. Detection, review and flattening run on the device. There is no Shademere account, and the app does not upload your documents for processing.
What can it suggest?
Faces, emails, phone numbers, addresses, payment-card numbers, US Social Security numbers, labeled account numbers, dates of birth, QR codes and barcodes, plus Find text for names you enter. Suggestions never decide for you. Detection can miss things, so you still review every page and can add manual boxes or use the brush.
Why a new file instead of covering the original?
A black box drawn on top of a PDF can leave the original text and images underneath. Shademere builds a new copy: pages are flattened, marks are burned into the pixels, and source metadata is removed. Image-only PDFs lose selectable text, links and live forms; the app explains that trade-off before export.
What is free, and what does it cost?
You get three complete free exports. After that, Shademere Unlimited is a $29.99 one-time purchase with Family Sharing, or a $4.99 pack of 10 exports that never expire. There is no subscription and no free trial. Apple handles billing. This website does not take payment.
When can I get it?
Coming soon to the App Store for iPhone and iPad. There is no public TestFlight link or App Store listing yet. Questions: [email protected].
