Description

Black Highlighter is an app that makes it easy to hide secret information you don't want to share in images you're going to share anyway.

Hide people's names, e-mail addresses, embarrassing music choices, and more with just the click of your mouse.

Using the Magic Highlighter, get beautiful, even, complete hiding of text in screenshots and photos. Or switch the magic off to hide anything behind your own scribbles.

Version 25.0

Black Highlighter 25.0 adds a whole new tool, the Magic Lasso, along with a number of other changes and fixes.

Magic Lasso

The Magic Lasso gives you the power to select a lot of text all at once. Select entire paragraphs and redact them all at once. The Magic Lasso doesn’t just fill a whole area; it uses the same smart detection as the Magic Highlighter to neatly and completely redact the text you select.

New Tool Effects

The Magic Lasso and Eraser have new effects that help make it clear when you’re using those tools as opposed to the Magic or Manual Highlighter tools.

Updated Contact Info

Black Highlighter is now available on Bluesky and Facebook! Find links in the settings area to follow Black Highlighter for announcements and support.

Bug Fixes

Sending a contact e-mail through the app correctly dismisses the window after saving, instead of… just sitting around confusingly.

Can only add 1 auto detect word - fixed

App is really neat, but after getting the extension, I am only able to add a single word. Would also love to see pdf support and would happily pay extra for it.

Edit: thanks for fixing the single word issue, and for fixing it so quickly. Found another one: the settings button doesn’t show up unless you grant access to photos, not sure if intentional, but nothing major. Bumped up to 5*.

Bah! Looks like I accidentally deleted the “add new word” button when I redid the settings section a few releases ago. I’ll get that fixed up ASAP. Thanks for the heads up!
