Baldanders proxies Codex CLI to anonymize PII before data reaches OpenAI

·2026.11.13 03:11

Key point

The tool replaces names, emails, and financial data with local tokens before sending requests to the model.

Details

  • Baldanders acts as a proxy for the Codex CLI, intercepting messages to swap personally identifiable information (PII) for tokens like [PERSON_1].
  • The mapping between original data and tokens remains stored locally on the user's machine, ensuring the model only sees the anonymized tokens.
  • The tool authenticates using the user's existing ChatGPT login rather than requiring a separate API key.
  • A -v flag is available to display exactly what data was sent to the server.
