June 12, 2026
Section titled “June 12, 2026”Documentation overhaul
Section titled “Documentation overhaul”Expanded the docs with full sections for the editor (including drawing redactions and the highlighter), detection results, dictionaries, templates, deanonymization, reasoning models, batch output, and a set of end-to-end recipes.
June 11, 2026
Section titled “June 11, 2026”Deanonymization (reverse)
Section titled “Deanonymization (reverse)”Anonymization now has a return trip. Piixie can restore the original values in a previously anonymized document — using the exact run that produced it, or a dictionary of known swaps when the file was edited elsewhere. Dropped files are checked against history automatically, with a prompt to reverse instead of anonymize. Redaction runs stay one-way by design.
Dictionaries
Section titled “Dictionaries”Reusable original → replacement mappings that keep the same fake identities across documents and runs. A dedicated manager window to create, search, and curate them; profiles can reuse existing entries and grow a dictionary from each run.
Reasoning & extended thinking
Section titled “Reasoning & extended thinking”Models can now reason before answering for better detection on tricky documents — local Gemma via llama.cpp, Anthropic extended thinking, and OpenAI reasoning effort. Set the effort per model (Off / Low / Med / High) and watch the thinking stream live in the processing dialog.
Batch output
Section titled “Batch output”Synthetic mode can generate several variants of one document in a single run, with configurable output file naming (number, hash, or date).
Anonymization Editor
Section titled “Anonymization Editor”Added a side-by-side editor that opens any completed document in its own window. Review the detected replacements as toggleable entries, add new ones by selecting text, and flip the Show redactions switch to eyeball the original against the redacted result instantly. Refresh regenerates the document into a versioned stash; Save to output promotes a version. Includes instant undo/redo (⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z).
Templates
Section titled “Templates”Editor customizations can be saved as reusable templates — generalized rules (keep this value, synthesize every name, redact this pattern) that apply to a different-but-similar document, such as a recurring invoice layout.
More synthetic languages and redaction characters
Section titled “More synthetic languages and redaction characters”Synthetic mode adds Portuguese, French, Italian, and German, plus Català, Euskera, and Galego regional name packs. Redaction now offers extra block and shade characters (█ ▓ ▒ ░ ▬), shared between the editor and profile settings.
May 25, 2026
Section titled “May 25, 2026”Website and documentation launch
Section titled “Website and documentation launch”Added the first Piixie marketing site, download page, documentation hub, automation guide, architecture diagrams, product screenshots, and this changelog for future release notes.
