Description
WebInvestigator is a professional investigation tool for private investigators, law enforcement officers, fraud analysts, OSINT researchers, corporate security teams, and legal professionals.
Capture web-based evidence with one click. Every screenshot and PDF is automatically stamped with the URL, timestamp, SHA-256 cryptographic hash, and device metadata — giving you a verifiable chain of custody from the moment of capture. Everything is encrypted and stored locally on your device. Nothing ever leaves your machine.

HOW IT WORKS
─────────────────────────────
1. Enter a case reference to start your investigation
2. Browse normally — WebInvestigator quietly logs every page you visit with timestamps
3. Capture evidence with one click: screenshot, full-page PDF, annotations, or flag for review
4. Add notes, redact sensitive content, and review your complete investigation timeline
5. Generate a professional HTML report with chain of custody metadata — ready to share or submit
