Investigator Use
Hunchly is a paid web-based investigation tool designed specifically for OSINT practitioners that automatically captures, annotates, and organizes web content as investigators browse — creating a continuously updated evidence archive of investigation activity with timestamps, screenshots, and source HTML.
For professional OSINT investigators, Hunchly solves a fundamental problem of web-based investigation documentation: the manual effort of capturing, organizing, and timestamping evidence as it is discovered. Running as a Chrome extension, Hunchly automatically saves pages visited during investigation sessions, creating a searchable, timestamped archive without requiring any manual intervention.
Automatic evidence capture means investigators focus on analysis rather than documentation mechanics — Hunchly handles the screenshot, HTML capture, and metadata recording for every page visited, creating an audit trail of the investigation's web research automatically.
Case organization through Hunchly allows investigators to tag, annotate, and categorize captured content within cases — building a structured investigation file from browsing activity that can be exported for reporting or case handoff.
Timestamp authenticity is critical for evidentiary purposes. Hunchly's automated captures include verifiable timestamps and the page's metadata — providing documentation that content was visible at a specific time, useful if the original source is later deleted or modified.
Search across captured content allows investigators to find specific information within the accumulated case archive — searching through hundreds of captured pages by keyword, URL, or annotation.
For investigative teams, Hunchly supports sharing of case captures — enabling collaborative review of investigation evidence and ensuring all team members work from the same documented record.
The paid subscription model reflects Hunchly's professional focus — it is designed for investigators who conduct web-based OSINT professionally and need reliable, defensible evidence capture as a workflow component.
Document Hunchly case IDs, investigation sessions, and all significant captures with their automated timestamps for investigation records.
