What US firms ask us
Straight answers about HIPAA, privilege, what stays on your machine and pricing.
What is Nonimo?
Nonimo is a Mac and Windows desktop app that removes client details from your text. It does this on your computer, so ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools never see them. The real details come back when you copy the AI's answer.
What does Nonimo do?
Nonimo replaces client details with labels such as [PERSON_1] before your text reaches an AI, and restores them when you copy the reply. It works in any app, through its Chrome and Safari extension, on Word, Excel and PDF files, and on ID documents.
Where can I use Nonimo?
You can use Nonimo in any app on a Mac or Windows PC: highlight text and press one key. Its Chrome and Safari extension redacts what you paste into ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Nonimo also redacts Word, Excel and PDF files before upload.
Does any PHI or client data reach Nonimo's servers?
No, your text never reaches Nonimo. Redaction runs on your own computer, and our security page has the details.
Does Nonimo anonymize or pseudonymize data?
Strictly speaking, what Nonimo does is pseudonymization. Names, NPIs and other identifiers become placeholders on your computer, and the AI's reply shows the real details again, which true anonymization wouldn't allow.
How to de-identify data before using AI under US law
Is Nonimo HIPAA compliant?
No software is HIPAA compliant by itself, and HHS doesn't certify products. Compliance depends on how a covered entity uses its tools. Nonimo cuts the identifiers that ever reach an AI vendor and works alongside your BAA.
Does removing client names protect privilege?
Removing client names doesn't protect privilege on its own. Whether privilege holds turns on who received the communication and under what circumstances. Fewer identifiers means less exposure, but it can't undo a disclosure.
Does redacting before AI protect attorney-client privilege?
Does Nonimo have a browser extension for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini?
Yes, the Nonimo extension runs in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. It works with the desktop app on your Mac or Windows PC. For Chrome, get it from the Chrome Web Store; for Safari, it comes bundled with the Mac app.

How do I redact my driver's license and add a watermark before I send a copy?
Use Nonimo's online ID redaction tool, which blacks out the fields you pick on your driver's license and adds a watermark. Start from a photo or scanned PDF; the tool runs in your browser, so your ID is never uploaded to a server.

How much does Nonimo cost?
Nonimo's Free plan lets you redact as many as 100,000 words each month. Personal and Team lift that limit for US$13.90 per month or US$139 per year, and Team charges that same price for each member.
