Hey everyone,

I built a CLI tool because I was tired of paying for services that guess email patterns and return unverifiable results.

What it does:

You provide a name + domain (e.g. John Smith + example.com), and it:

  • Generates likely email patterns (john.smith@, j.smith@, etc.)
  • Scrapes the company website for public addresses
  • Resolves MX records and connects to mail servers (SMTP)
  • Performs RCPT TO checks to see if addresses actually exist
  • Outputs ranked results with confidence scores and full logs (in JSON)

It supports batch mode, config files, concurrency, and works fully from the command line.

Why open-source?

Because this kind of tool should be transparent and auditable.

Too many SaaS companies wrap basic scraping + guessing in a black box with a high price tag. I wanted something I could inspect, extend, and run on my own terms — no tracking, no API keys, no login.

MIT license. No telemetry. No nonsense.

Would love feedback if you try it out, or ideas if you want to contribute.
