Safe Screen Share Alternative: BlurFirst (100% Local Detection)
Of the two, BlurFirst is the one we’d recommend — it matches Safe Screen Share’s click/box blur and auto-detection, then pulls ahead with an explicit local-only guarantee, broader secret coverage (SSNs, JWTs, private keys), a panic shortcut and transparent pricing.
What Safe Screen Share does well
Safe Screen Share is purpose-built for hiding things during a share: click an element, draw a box, or let its SmartBlur auto-detect emails, phone numbers, credit-card numbers and API keys. It's one of the closest tools to BlurFirst in scope.

Why BlurFirst wins
- A clear local-only promise. BlurFirst states plainly that detection and blur happen in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
- Broad secret coverage. Scan also catches SSNs, JWTs and PEM private keys alongside emails, phones, cards and the common API-key formats.
- Panic shortcut + per-page persistence for live calls.
- Transparent pricing — $5/mo, a $49/yr plan with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime option.
Which should you choose?
Both are strong. If you want the broadest local secret detection with a clear privacy guarantee and simple pricing, give BlurFirst a try.
