Statuz, my post scheduler, used to let you click a word in a screenshot to hide it. The rewrite dropped it. It's back this week. Most of the time went into the blur. A normal Gaussian blur keeps every letter, just smeared, and with a guess at the font you can read it back. Pixelation isn't better: Depix pulls passwords out of pixelated screenshots. So this one averages the text into blocks a few letters wide, shifts each block by a random amount, and only then smooths it. There's nothing left to sharpen. It also reads the screenshot, so one click covers every email, phone number, link or API key in it. If you just want something gone, there's plain tape. Mac app and statuz.cloud. 18-second video here: https://statuz.app/changelog#v2.4.0 If you can see a way to get text back out of it, I'd like to know.   submitted by   /u/stewones [link]   [comments]
