Gorp offers a practically useful tool for on-device image redaction, addressing a genuine privacy and compliance need. However, the submission is riddled with red flags, including highly exaggerated and unsupported claims about traction ('most people have used my product') and audience reach ('everyone'), alongside vague financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000'). Due to the lack of verifiable evidence and poor response quality, the project scores very low.

Description

Gorp helps you protect sensitive data in your images. It helps you or your company avoid costly fines that can come from leaking protected user data when sharing app screenshots over the network, or simply helps you redact personal data before sharing images. Gorp uses on-device machine learning to scan images for protected text including PHI, PII or PCI as well as faces. Easily add areas it missed or expand areas it found by dragging. Redact and export a cleansed image in a flash, without ever needing a network connection. Available for macOS and iOS.
