Last weekend I hacked together a fun little tool based on an idea I had — watermarking internal messages textually.
The concept:
- You write an internal message (e.g. a sensitive update).
- The tool generates multiple unique, paraphrased templated variants.
- You send a different version to each recipient.
- If one leaks (e.g. a screenshot), you can visually identify which version it was and who it was sent to.
I posted it on Reddit (/r/sideprojects) and it got 70k views, so figured I’d share it here too!
It’s:
- Very early and buggy
- Fully open-source
- Probably not useful for 99.99999% of people.
- Just a cool random concept I wanted to experiment with

Video demo is under the repo.
If there’s interest, I can make a live demo page so people can try it without cloning the repo using my API key instead.
Would love to hear what you think — especially around even slightest of use cases or ways to improve it!
