Tracelight
Browser extension

One right-click. Investigation started.

The Tracelight Investigator browser extension turns any webpage into a launching pad for an OSINT investigation. Highlight a name, email, phone, or username; right-click; Tracelight opens a new case in your workspace and starts the 32-worker enrichment.

v0.1 — beta. Chrome + Edge confirmed; Firefox build in flight.
Right-click anywhere
Highlight a name, email, phone, or username on any webpage. Right-click → Tracelight → Investigate. New case + subject + enrichment kicked off in your workspace.
Auto-detect identifiers
The extension's content script flags emails, phone numbers, and IPs on the page so you can one-click them without highlighting. Useful for skim-reading subject pages.
Workspace-scoped
All investigations land in your authenticated Tracelight workspace via the same RLS-isolated channel as the dashboard. The extension never has direct DB access.
