01 / WHAT IT FINDS

        
Everything around the picture.

        
Version 0.2's strip --all only cleared EXIF. The merged v0.3 source rebuilds the file from its picture data, so XMP, IPTC, comments and anything appended after the image go too. Tap a card for details.

Drop a photo. Watch it get scrubbed.

03 / THE TUI

        
A privacy panel beside every tag.

        
Run cybermeta photo.jpg: the tag browser on the left, what the file gives away on the right. Press X to preview a scrub, then y to apply it. Open a folder to see every photo's risk and scrub them all at once.

1
Split
JPEG segments, PNG chunks or WebP chunks, each labelled by what it carries.

        
2
Rebuild
Picture data copied byte for byte. JFIF thumbnails cut; trailers dropped.

        
3
Re-create
Rotation and date written as a fresh EXIF block holding only those values.

        
4
Verify
nom-exif, a parser that shares no code with the writer, re-reads the output. Leftovers mean an error, not a leaky file.

      

    

  


  

    

      

        
05 / INSTALL

        
One line. Checksummed.

        
The latest CLI release is v0.3.1. The curl installer downloads it for Linux or macOS (x86_64 or aarch64), verifies its SHA-256 and installs to ~/.local/bin. The same v0.3.1 engine is available to Rust apps as a stable tag and on crates.io.

      

      

        

          
⌘ Terminal

          

            
            
            
          

          

          
The command below pins the stable v0.3.1 engine tag.
