Product updates

What you can use today, what has changed and the limits to keep in mind.

Recently added

Updated 22 September 2026.

WhatsMyName username coverage

Bare username investigations can now check a bounded, attributed 12-site snapshot derived from WhatsMyName. Positive matches are treated as candidate public profile URLs only; inconclusive responses never become absence and provider-qualified GitHub or Bluesky handles stay scoped to their source.

Structured Visual Board

Expanded Caseboards now use a clean Board / Focus workflow instead of layering more controls onto the Dock. Sections become ordered columns, cards can be reordered or moved between columns, and opening a card enters Focus while the same live tool panels remain mounted in the background.

Caseboard sections and pin groups

Organize a named Caseboard into persistent sections such as Targets, Infrastructure or To verify. In the expanded Analyst Workspace, drag pinned tools, entities, evidence and graph fragments between sections; snapshots preserve the grouping without changing canonical investigation data.

Expandable Analyst Workspace

Expand the live Research Dock into a full-screen analyst workspace without remounting tool tabs, results or in-flight runs. Collapse returns to the compact Dock, while Picture-in-Picture can still move the same live workspace into a floating window.

Open the research workspace →

Named Research Sessions / Caseboards

Save the current Research Dock as a named Caseboard, switch between independent workspaces, create reversible snapshots and keep operator notes without turning those notes into evidence. Different tabs can keep different Caseboards open while investigations remain canonical and separate.

Research Dock workspace extensions

Detach the Dock into an always-on-top Picture-in-Picture window where supported, with an ordinary pop-out fallback elsewhere. Signed-in users can sync pinned references across devices and pin saved result batches or bounded graph neighborhoods without syncing tool inputs or results.

Research Dock production polish

Open or minimize the Research Dock from anywhere with Alt+Shift+D. The production pass also hardens the default social preview renderer while preserving the Dock's reference-only browser persistence.

Research that follows you

Pin tools, investigations and evidence in the Research Dock and keep working as you browse. Move, resize or minimize the panel, revisit original sources, and save compatible tool runs to your active investigation.

Bluesky public profiles

Username searches now include Bluesky alongside GitHub. Look up a full Bluesky handle, DID or profile link, and retain the stable account identifier with dated source evidence. Matching handles remain candidates, not proof of shared identity.

Archived pages in investigations

Domain and hostname searches now include dated Wayback homepage captures, with source links and separate capture and retrieval dates. Saved investigations retain the archive connections alongside other evidence.

Explore Wayback →

Public identity context

Start with a person, username, email or phone number. Searches use Wikidata person records, public GitHub and Bluesky profiles, email-domain DNS and phone numbering metadata, with the scope of each lookup shown before you run it.

Observed internet routes

Public IP and ASN searches include RouteViews routing observations alongside registration records. Collector observations describe routing context, not proof of ownership or complete network coverage.

Available in your workspace

  • Preview a search without an account; sign in to save and revisit private investigations.
  • Start with a domain, hostname, public IP, ASN, company, person, username, email or phone number.
  • Inspect entities, connections and supporting evidence in the graph. Follow supported connections to expand an investigation or start a related one.
  • Continue searches in the background, review which checks succeeded and retry eligible failures.
  • Browse tools, documentation, articles, sources and the open OSINT reference graph.

Current limitations

  • A completed search can still have partial results. Provider availability, access requirements and request limits affect individual checks.
  • Person-name and username matches are candidates to review. They do not establish ownership or identify accounts across platforms.
  • Email checks describe address structure and domain configuration. Phone checks describe numbering metadata; neither verifies an owner or an active account.
  • Wayback lookups return a bounded selection of captures for one URL. Investigation searches cover the homepage, not the complete site history.
  • Some catalog entries provide reference information only. Available searches and access requirements are shown on each tool page.
