About Forensic Web Capture: Court-Grade Evidence for OSINT | UserSearch
π Court-grade web evidence, preserved entirely on your own machine.
UserSearch Forensic Capture saves web pages and social media posts as tamper-evident records for online investigations and OSINT. Full-page screenshots, screen recordings and page-source snapshots are each SHA-256 hashed, sealed and independently timestamped the moment you save them.
Everything runs locally. Your files never leave your device: no cloud, no telemetry, no analytics. Free and unlimited.
