Blackbird



 Blackbird is a powerful OSINT tool that combines fast username and email searches across more than 600 platforms with free AI-powered profiling. By leveraging community-driven projects like WhatsMyName, it ensures low false positive rates and high-quality results. Features include smart filters, polished PDF/CSV exports, and fully automated analysis — all from a single CLI.
