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 is built not to merge different people who 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. 150+ PUBLIC SOURCES. ONE WORKFLOW. Automated checks against 19 wanted, sanctions, and exclusion lists, such as FBI, Interpol, OFAC, UN, EU, UK, BIS, and Canada, plus guided research across 150+ 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.

IP Geolocation & Network Tools
Read full descriptionHide full description
IP Geolocation and Network Tools is a comprehensive mobile utility suite designed for network administrators, developers, and users who want to understand their network environment and find location intelligence. The application combines advanced location tracking with diagnostic utilities into a single, high-performance interface. The application automatically resolves your current public and local IP address configuration, mapping coordinates onto an interactive display. With device location permissions, the app also displays your precise real-time GPS coordinates directly on the map card, letting you compare your actual physical location with your network IP-based location. Users can search for any valid IPv4 or IPv6 address to retrieve geographic details including country, region, city, zip code, Internet Service Provider (ISP), and timezone. The application includes six network diagnostic tools: 1. IP Geolocation: Maps and details coordinates for target IP addresses, supported by a search history panel. 2. Connection Details: Identifies connection status, interface type, local IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers, and cellular carrier name. 3. Ping Test: Measures round-trip time latency and packet loss to any host using a TCP handshake loop, displaying results in a graphical line chart. 4. DNS Lookup: Queries Cloudflare secure DNS-over-HTTPS servers to resolve A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, and NS records. 5. Whois Query: Establishes raw socket connections to registry databases to retrieve registry data and follows referral server chains recursively. 6. Subnet LAN Scanner: Performs concurrent host sweeps on the local network to identify active devices and open connection responses. 7. Port Scanner: Scans target hosts for open service ports using custom presets such as common, web, or system ports. A localized query history database allows users to store, recall, or clear past lookup targets. The entire application is fully localized in fifty-six languages and respects dark appearance settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IP Geolocation & Network Tools at none against Sentinel's 3. Sentinel's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
