About HeimWall

HeimWall is a lightweight, on-device macOS application designed to prevent sensitive information from leaking into AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot. Utilizing 47 carefully crafted, hand-written rules, it detects and flags potential leaks of secrets, credentials, and personally identifiable information (PII) in real-time before they can be sent to external AI platforms. The tool prioritizes user privacy by ensuring that all prompts and data remain solely on the user's Mac, with no content stored, accounts created, or sign-ups required. Its focus on security and privacy makes it particularly appealing to individual developers and teams seeking to safeguard proprietary information without sacrificing productivity.
