otlite
Install and run open-source OSINT tools by name on Linux and macOS
A command line tool manager that installs, runs, and updates open-source OSINT tools in private virtual environments with saved results.
Overview
The otlite homepage
otlite is a free, open-source command line tool for Linux and macOS that manages 47 open-source OSINT tools including Sherlock, Maigret, Holehe, SpiderFoot, and theHarvester. Each tool installs into its own isolated virtual environment and runs with a unified input syntax, so you use the same commands regardless of which tool you're working with. Every run is saved and results are structured for scripts and AI agents to process.
Key capabilities include typed input prefixes like u: for username, e: for email, d: for domain, and ip: for IP address that map automatically to each tool's native flags. The --all flag runs every installed tool that accepts your input in parallel. Results are sortable, filterable, and exportable as JSON. otlite supports all API keys in a secure local environment file and includes diagnostics that fix missing dependencies on Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, Arch, Fedora, or macOS.

Buyer questions
What versions of Python does otlite support?
otlite supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. Some individual tools may have narrower Python limits, which you can check with otlite info.
What happened to otinstaller?
otinstaller has been renamed to otlite. The old command still works; running pip install -U otinstaller installs otlite and keeps the old command working with a note. Your keys and settings migrate automatically from ~/.otinstaller to ~/.otlite on the first run.
Are all results stored in JSON format?
Every run also saves results as text files organized by tool, target, and time. In addition, each run writes a JSON envelope with the same structure for every tool, containing the entities found, making results ready for scripts and automation.
Is otlite free?
Yes. otlite is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license. It is never billed to an OSINTverse wallet and does not need an OSINTverse account.
Do I need Docker?
No. otlite installs each tool into its own Python virtualenv, so it runs anywhere Python 3.10 or newer does. If you would rather run every tool signed and in a locked-down container, use ot from the OTInstaller Registry, which needs Docker or Podman.
