About OSINT Researcher
OSINT Researcher is an iPhone and iPad app for exploring public repositories across GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Forgejo, Gitea, and Bitbucket Cloud. Entering an organization or username runs a search across these providers in parallel, returning repositories, contributor profiles, commit activity, and social links, with each result tagged by source. No login is required to use the app.
Free features include dark mode, recent searches, and a watchlist for pinning and re-running past searches. Pro features add PDF report exports with summaries and findings by category, commit activity insights (commit heatmaps, inferred timezone, account age), gist scanning for leaked secrets, cross-referencing of organization members who share repos, custom regex secret-scanning patterns, diffing between scans to show changes since a prior search, expanded secret detection (Slack tokens, Stripe live keys, GitHub and GitLab PATs, JWTs, Discord webhooks), separate API token slots per provider for higher query limits, and the ability to point the app at self-hosted GitLab, Forgejo, or Gitea instances.
The developer positions the app for security professionals auditing public code exposure, recruiters scouting developers, red teamers and internal security teams reviewing their own organizations, and developers looking for open-source collaboration opportunities. It is listed on the App Store as free with in-app purchases, rated 4+, developed by Pleme PTY LTD., sized 156.3 MB, and designed for iPhone and iPad (not verified for macOS).
