## What is Maigret?

Check where a username you enter appears on public websites, then review each source yourself.

WHO IT IS FOR
Check your own digital footprint, or research creator, brand and organization handles that you own or are authorized to review. Quick Scan is free and checks up to 100 prioritized public sources. Maigret checks the username you enter against public websites: it is a research and review tool, not a people-search database.

FROM MATCH TO REVIEWED FINDING
See checks finish, open the original pages, and keep found profiles, similar names, blocked checks, and unknown results separate. Mark findings relevant, unrelated, or needing follow-up and add your notes. A matching username does not establish identity or common ownership, so review each source before you rely on it.

REUSE YOUR RESEARCH
Save reports in encrypted cases on your device. Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription that adds broader Balanced and Deep scans, saved source ranges, same-scope rescans and comparisons. With Pro you can also work through a foreground queue of up to five usernames, each with its own report, and export selected evidence as PDF, CSV, JSON or Markdown; optional redaction removes identifiers and source URLs from the shared file.

KNOW THE LIMITS
Scans run while the app is in the foreground. Blocked and unknown checks do not prove an account is absent. Maigret does not bypass privacy settings or sign-in requirements and does not delete accounts automatically. Use it only for accounts you own or are authorized to research.

SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
Pro renews automatically until cancelled. The App Store shows the current price, period and renewal terms before you confirm a purchase, and you can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings. Existing purchases can be restored.

### 1/5 — NeverAgain

*2026-06-05*

I signed up for a trial, then decided to upgrade to the Pro version.  The Pro Version seemed to have more information that I would have liked to viewed. However, I paid for the pro version but only received the same version as the trial.  I tried to find a developer website or some way to contact the developer but I can’t find this info.  After 3-4 days of the App not being upgraded to the pro version, I cancelled my subscription so that the developer would not be able to cheat me out of my money.  I tired to request a refund from Apple, but the purchase was not found.  I think that was because I had cancelled my subscription, but I thought Apple would search for the purchase transaction, not an app. I haven’t tried to call Apple for assistance, but I will & will post an
update if anything changes, in the hope of helping others avoid this mistake.

### 1/5 — Trial Setup is a Set

*2026-05-18*

Sam problem for years, you cannot get to their paid version until the trial is OVER.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-04-20*

Couldn’t get interesting information. You have to subscribe to see the reports. Almost all links are broken.

### 4/5 — Interesting but worth it??

*2026-03-30*

I like the concept but from my trial I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost when you can’t even preview what you would get if you purchased.  Could be something could be nothing.  Is it more than one can do by themselves?

### 1/5 — Completely Fake Randomized List

*2026-03-29*

It’s not real. You’ll notice once you try it a few times.

### 1/5 — Dev is probably not graduating from school.

*2026-03-07*

OSINT IS FREE, OPEN SOURCE TECHNOLOGY; NOT PAID, CLOSED SOURCE TECHNOLOGY. DO NOT BUY THIS APP!

### 5/5 — I’m not getting what I paid for…

*2026-02-24*

I’ve been paying for premium and upgraded to pro for months now and am only receiving services available for “trial mode”. I also can’t get anyone to respond to my complaint. Not cool…

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2026-02-22*

Not a good app. Also not able to contact anyone. Cancelled subscription but was just charged for a year.

### 5/5 — Tool

*2025-12-19*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-11-22*

I think this is a very good tool. I bought the full year subscription
