Profanity Detector & Filter
Detect and mask profanity in text — get a clean (masked) version, the exact flagged words with positions and severity, and a simple isClean boolean built for moderation pipelines.
Live on the Apify Store — run it instantly or call it as an agent tool via Apify MCP.
What you get
- Smart matching — a built-in multi-tier word list catches leetspeak (
f4ck,sh!t), spacing and punctuation obfuscation (f.u.c.k,s h i t), and stretched letters (fuuuck). - No false positives — word-boundary anchoring defeats the Scunthorpe problem, so
Scunthorpe,class,assassin, andCockburnstay clean. - Masked output — a ready-to-publish
cleanedTextwith profanity replaced by your chosen mask character. - Severity tiers — every match is labeled
mild/strong/severe, plus an overall severity for the whole text. - Positions — exact
start/endoffsets for each match so you can highlight or redact in your own UI. - Bulk mode — pass a single
textor an array oftexts; each gets its own result row.
