## Description

Maigret is an easy-to-use OSINT tool that lets you quickly collect a dossier on a person by username across thousands of sites, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Google. It supports over 2,500 sites, with searches launched against the most popular 500 sites by default.

Key features include scanning a username from over 2,500 sites on your phone, parsing profile pages, extracting personal information and links to other profiles, and searching by tags. It exports scan data, and site rules updates are coming soon. Privacy-first: all username scans are performed locally on your device; the information is publicly available on the internet, Maigret only provides the search function, and no personal data is collected.

## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Many praise the concept and ease of use, with some noting it’s free and helpful for username-based OSINT, sometimes enough to subscribe or use weekly. But recurring complaints include billing problems, unreliable performance, limited iOS functionality, and concerns about monetizing open-source tooling. Overall, the app shows potential but reliability, billing, and alignment with open-source OSINT principles are major negatives.

### Pros

- Conceptually useful OSINT tool for username-based lookups.
- Easy to navigate with generally accurate results.
- Free to use, with reviewers calling it free or free/open-source.
- Valued by some users enough to subscribe or use weekly.

### Cons

- Billing and refund issues: unexpected charges after cancellation and unresponsive support.
- Crashes and slow performance; unreliable results and occasional duplicates.
- Limited iOS functionality: only one username lookup and paid options for more.
- Credibility and quality concerns: accusations of monetizing open-source work, plus typos, wrong links, and spam.
- No preview of features before purchase.
