What you need, and what happens next
MyYaad is two pieces: a desktop app that stores your vault and generates the shadows, and a browser extension that protects your prompts. You need both, and they pair with each other automatically the first time you launch the app.

Install steps
- 1Download the Desktop App. Download MyYaad for macOS or Windows from our download page. Install it like any other app — drag to Applications and launch.
- 2Create Your First Vault Entry. Open MyYaad and click "Add Entry". Enter a piece of personal data you commonly share with AI — your name, company, or email address. Choose a shadow type (name, email, company, etc.) and save.
- 3Install the Browser Extension. Install the MyYaad extension for Chrome (also works in Edge). The extension will automatically connect to your desktop app.
- 4Chat with any supported AI — protected. Open any supported AI chatbot — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or DeepSeek. Type a prompt that includes data you’ve added to your vault. MyYaad automatically detects which provider you’re on, replaces your real data with a provider-specific shadow value, and restores the real data when the AI responds. Try it on multiple providers to see different shadow values for the same real data.
- 5Check the Audit Log. Open MyYaad and check the audit log to see exactly what was shadowed, which provider received which shadow, and when.
