Blinder
A specialized macOS tool for blinded file reviews in research and scientific studies.
Origin
Researchers and study teams often need to review large numbers of files in a blinded workflow. Blinder grew out of a concrete personal need to make this niche process safe and reproducible.
Requirements
Anonymize many files for review without losing their assignment and restore the original names in a controlled way after the review.
Implementation
Blinder covers the complete blind and unblind workflow with test-run preview, flexible naming modes, and a mapping file.
Project scope
Test run, blind and unblind modes, mapping export, and optional SHA-256 integrity verification.
