I built Polish – A local AI text polisher and Oracle SQL fixer for Windows with automated PII data masking

Hi everyone, I built an open-source Windows desktop utility called Polish that lets you highlight text or SQL in ANY app (Slack, Teams, Outlook, DBeaver, SQL Developer, browser) and rephrase or fix it in-place via global hotkeys. ### Key Features: - 🔒 Local-First & Offline by Default: Powered by local Ollama (qwen2.5:0.5b). No data leaves your machine during local execution. - 🛡️ Automated Outbound Data Masking: When using cloud models (gemma4:cloud), Polish automatically scans and redacts SSNs, Emails, DOBs, Passwords, DB URIs, API Keys, Credit Cards, IP Addresses, Corporate Domains, and User IDs before sending payloads over HTTP. - 🔄 Inbound Rehydration: Original sensitive values are restored back onto your local PC screen after processing so you don't lose data. - 👁️ Visual Security Audit Log Viewer: Right-click tray menu → Security Audit Log... to inspect side-by-side proof of exact masked strings sent to cloud vs your local token map. - 🛢️ Fix SQL (Ctrl+Alt+Q): Explains Oracle SQL syntax/logic issues in bullet points, while pasting ONLY the clean corrected query into DBeaver/SQL Developer. - ⚡ Lightweight Utility: Pure PowerShell native script running hidden in the background (~0 MB idle RAM, 31 KB release zip).
