About VibeGard
VibeGard — Protect Your Sensitive Data Before It Reaches an AI
Every day, developers, professionals, and everyday users accidentally paste passwords, API keys,
email addresses, credit card numbers, and personal IDs directly into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and
Perplexity. Once it's sent, you can't take it back.
VibeGard sits silently in your browser and catches sensitive data before it leaves your hands.

How It Works
VibeGard watches the input box as you type or paste. When it detects something sensitive — an email
address, a password, a database connection string, a credit card number — it alerts you instantly and
lets you mask it with a single click. The original text is replaced with a safe placeholder (*****)
so you can continue your conversation without exposing private information.
Everything runs entirely in your browser. No data is ever sent to any server. No account required.

What It Detects
VibeGard covers a wide range of sensitive data types out of the box:
• Contact info — emails, phone numbers, physical addresses
• Credentials — passwords, usernames, database connection strings
• Financial data — credit card numbers (Luhn-validated), IBANs, bank account numbers
• Identity documents — SSNs, passport numbers, national IDs, and similar personal identifiers
• API & access credentials — API keys, access tokens, session tokens, bearer tokens, and other authentication data
• Infrastructure secrets — IP addresses, private keys, database URLs, MAC addresses, and auth headers

data as you type, with no manual step needed.
🖱️ Right-Click Masking — Select any text on the page, right-click, and mask just the sensitive parts
or the entire selection.
🔒 Mask All — One click in the popup to scan and mask every sensitive item across all inputs on the
current page.
