Aircraft overhead
Live transponder reports near your position, drawn on a map inside the app.
Live maps
Ship tracking, power outages and internet outages have no free feed an app can read directly, so these open the live maps centered on your position.
These read public records about domains and networks, and files you already hold. Use them to vet sources and check your own exposure, not to build a profile of a private person.
Domain records
Shows who registered it and when, where it points, and whether its email can be spoofed. A site registered last week that claims to be an agency is a warning sign.
IP address
Network owner, rough location and reverse DNS. Leave it blank to see what your own connection reveals, which is a quick VPN check.
Photo metadata
Reads the hidden record inside a photo: camera, time and GPS position. The file never leaves this device. Check your own photos before posting them.
Password exposure
The password is hashed on this device and only the first five characters of the hash are sent to Have I Been Pwned, so the password itself is never transmitted or stored.
Crime and police news near you
Recent news coverage of crime and police activity that names your town, shown here in the app. This is reporting by news outlets, not a police incident feed.
Official records
Registries and court records open on the agency's own page, because the photos, addresses and descriptions there are what tell you whether a record is the person you mean. A name alone often matches several people.
On the installed iPhone app these open as a sheet over Lookout; tap Done to come back. Nothing you look up is saved here. Using registry information to harass or threaten anyone is a crime.
Archived copies
Finds the Wayback Machine copy of a page, for when a site is down or a post has been changed or deleted.
