Know more before making contact. An AI-assisted Field Intelligence Platform for investigators and security professionals. Sentinel combines public sources with government, law-enforcement, and sanctions data, then shows what the evidence supports, what is uncertain, and what to verify next. AI THAT SUPPORTS THE ANALYST AI does the first pass. The professional makes the call. • Field Brief: wanted and sanctions results, risk flags, identity confidence, and the top checks before contact, in seconds • Full Analysis: confirmed findings, possible associations, contradictions, information gaps, and source references • Web Brief: live web research written into a source-cited summary Sentinel's AI states what it cannot verify, treats a name match as unverified until identity is confirmed, and never merges different people because they share a name. AI is powered by Claude models from Anthropic. NEW: SANCTIONS & EXPORT SCREENING Screen any person or company against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, official U.S. government data including the SDN List, the Entity List, and the Denied Persons List, plus the UK Sanctions List. Each match shows the list, agency, match quality, source, and data date. Company / Org searches include this screening automatically. Included in every plan, including the free trial. NEW: HEALTHCARE EXCLUSION CHECK Check a person or business against the HHS OIG List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE), with the data date and source on every result. Sentinel is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by any government. START WITH ONE IDENTIFIER Begin with a name, phone, email, company, vehicle, domain, IP address, or location. 130+ PUBLIC SOURCES. ONE WORKFLOW. Automated wanted and sanctions screening against FBI, Interpol, OFAC, UN, EU, UK, BIS, and Canadian lists, plus guided research across 130+ public sources. A check that cannot run is marked unavailable, never shown as a clean result. EVIDENCE PROVENANCE Finding → Source → Verification Status → Professional Decision. Mark findings Confirm, Reject, or Review. ENTITY RESOLUTION & IMAGE FORENSICS Map relationships between people, phones, emails, companies, vehicles, and domains. Analyze images for metadata, error level, compression, and hidden-data indicators. CASE & FIELD INTELLIGENCE Cases, AI-assisted client intake, AI field note analysis, voice dictation, timelines, maps, Watch List, and saved Field Briefs. PROFESSIONAL REPORTING Investigator, Executive Summary, Due Diligence, and Client-Ready PDF reports with sources, methodology, limitations, and your own branding (Pro). LOCAL-FIRST PRIVACY Case data stays on your device, encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with keys in the iOS Keychain. Auto-lock, device integrity checks, and Wipe All Data, which also destroys the keys. No ads. No tracking. Sentinel does not keep your AI requests, AI responses, or analyzed images on its server. PLANS Same sources, methodology, and security in both plans. Pro adds capacity and advanced reporting. • Essential: 20 AI analyses and 20 Web Briefs per month, 10 searches per day • Pro: 100 AI analyses (50 in the first 14 days) and 50 Web Briefs per month, unlimited searches, all report types and branding Monthly subscriptions through Apple. Subscribe anytime, even during your trial. Cancel anytime in your Apple account settings. 7-DAY FREE TRIAL No card required, and the trial never converts to a paid plan on its own. It includes 5 Field Briefs, 1 other AI analysis, 1 Web Brief, and 5 searches per day. Full Analysis requires Essential or Pro. WHAT SENTINEL IS NOT Not a people-search or background-check service; does not sell personal records. For lawful professional research. Not a consumer reporting agency; not for employment, tenant, credit, insurance, or other eligibility decisions.

Know you’re online—and whether it’s usable—before the call drops. Reachable answers one question when you join a new network: Is this actually the internet, and is it good enough to use? What you get Automatic check on launch — no hunt for a “run test” button. Latency — quick HTTP timing so you can see if the network feels responsive. Download speed — a simple Mbps snapshot, not a lab report. Your public IP — useful when you’re debugging VPNs, tunnels, or “why does this site see the wrong place?” A human verdict — plain language like what kind of use the connection is probably fine for. Captive portal help — when the Wi‑Fi wants a login page, open it in-app and get past the splash screen. Why location is requested On iOS, Approximate Location is used so the app can read the Wi‑Fi network name (SSID) you’re on. Reachable doesn’t need your precise location to run the checks. Built for real life Coffee shops, airports, coworking, guest networks, and “it says I’m connected but nothing loads.”
