Ridge puts the OSINT toolkit and your sock-puppet personas in one place. You no longer keep bookmark lists, spreadsheets of fake identities and separate browser profiles side by side. The app has two tabs:

• OSINT Tool Catalog: All 1,700+ tools from the Awesome-OSINT-List, searchable by name and category. One click checks which sites are ACTIVE, GUARDED or DOWN, and another opens a tool in your browser.
• Persona Builder: Fill in an identity sheet (names, birth, documents, address, job, vehicle, profile picture). The ID generator sites open in a built-in browser next to the form, so you can copy values across.
• Isolated Persona Browsers: Each persona runs in its own Docker container and keeps its own history, bookmarks and logins between sessions. Before a persona starts, a checklist asks you to confirm your VPN is on and your timezone matches its country.

1. Grab the App: Download the latest build from the Ridge/releases page. On Windows 10/11, use Ridge-Setup-X.Y.Z.exe (it installs without administrator rights). Builds for macOS and Linux are also available.
2. Prerequisites: The Personas tab needs Docker Desktop running. The OSINT tools tab works without it.
3. Explore the Catalog: Search for a tool or pick a category, press Check status to see which sites are up, then Open the one you need.
4. Build a Persona: Press Create persona, fill in the identity sheet and save it. Ridge downloads the persona browser in the background (once, about 1 GB). Then press Start.
