About Opsis

Why we built this

The open-source intelligence world has powerful tools. Maigret, Sherlock, Holehe, WhatsMyName, and others can tell you an incredible amount about a username or email across hundreds of platforms. But they all share the same problem: you need to know Python, use a terminal, set up dependencies, and figure out how to actually run them.

That barrier keeps the vast majority of people out. Anyone who's ever typed their own name into Google and wondered what else is out there. People auditing their own old usernames and email addresses to see what's still floating around the public web. Journalists and small security teams who don't have dedicated tooling. These people deserve access to the same information that security researchers have had for years. They just need it in a form that works without a GitHub clone and a command line.

Opsis is that form. Type in an email, username, or domain. See what's out there. No setup, no technical knowledge required.

How it works

Opsis queries public endpoints across more than 150 platforms in real time. When you search a username, we check which platforms have a public account registered to that username. When you search an email, we check which services recognize that email. All of this uses public information that platforms have already chosen to expose through their own registration, lookup, and API endpoints.

We don't scrape behind login walls. We don't create fake accounts. We don't exploit vulnerabilities. We don't buy or resell data from breach dumps. We just aggregate and correlate information that's already public, and present it in a way that makes sense.

What we don't do

This is important to us, so we want to be direct about it.

We don't store search results. When you run a search, we query the sources live and stream what comes back to your browser. The result data is held briefly in server memory only for as long as your session needs it, then dropped. It's never written to our database.

We don't maintain a subject database. Opsis is not a data broker. We don't have a stored profile on you, your neighbor, your ex, or anyone else. Every search is a fresh query against live public sources.

We don't sell your data. We don't share your searches with third parties. Your searches are your searches.

What we do retain: the query you typed (e.g. the username or email), the search type, a timestamp, and your IP address. These activity logs are kept for up to 90 days solely for fraud prevention, abuse detection, billing reconciliation, and responding to lawful legal requests. After 90 days they're automatically deleted.

Who Opsis is for

People searching themselves. The most common use of Opsis is self-lookup. Seeing your own footprint across the internet is the first step to managing it.

People auditing their own old accounts. Old usernames and email addresses you forgot you had often still surface on platforms you no longer use. Opsis helps you find them so you can clean them up.

Journalists and researchers. The same tools that take hours to set up as a developer take seconds with Opsis.

Small security teams. Companies that don't have dedicated OSINT staff but occasionally need to investigate a username or email for fraud, phishing, or threat intelligence.

Who Opsis is not for

We're explicit about this in our Acceptable Use Policy. Opsis is not for stalking, harassment, doxxing, employment screening, tenant screening, credit decisions, or any use regulated by the FCRA, GLBA, or DPPA. We're not a consumer reporting agency and we don't produce consumer reports.

If you're using a tool like Opsis to harm someone, you're misusing it. We cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement and reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate our terms.

Your rights

If you want Opsis to suppress future searches involving your own identifiers, submit a request through our suppression page. Provide your email or username, explain how it relates to you, and a human reviews the request within 30 days. Approved suppressions cause Opsis to refuse future searches that include the identifier.

If you want us to delete your Opsis account, email us and we'll handle it. Search logs will be retained for the 90-day policy period and then auto-deleted.

Who we are

Opsis is built by a small team (currently one person) who thinks the gap between what's technically possible in OSINT and what's accessible to ordinary people is too wide. That gap is what we exist to close.

We're based in the United States. We're not VC-funded. We make money the straightforward way: people find the tool useful and pay for a subscription.
