Feature request: auto-redact private content (filenames, paths) when taking screenshots #44

Description

@BlessedChild

Summary

It would be very helpful if Finch could automatically redact / blur private content (such as filenames, personal data, etc.) when taking screenshots for bug reports or feature feedback. Currently, users have to manually blur sensitive info before sharing screenshots, which is tedious and error-prone.

Suggested feature

An option to automatically detect and blur privacy-sensitive areas (e.g., file paths, filenames, user IDs, API keys) in screenshots before they are saved or shared.

Use case

When filing bug reports or feature feedback that include screenshots, users often need to manually redact personal information like filenames, directory paths, or conversation content. An auto-redaction feature would make the feedback process faster and safer.
