Where it looks

Four places. All of them open.

A lead is only as good as the place it came from, so Forage only draws on sources that are published to be read. One search bar runs across all four at once, and every result carries its origin with it.

Worldwide OpenStreetMap discovery through Overpass, with Nominatim geocoding — boundary lookups, sector filters, and automatic broadening when a filter returns too little to work with.

Worldwide · live

1,184,492 companies held on your own machine, ingested from Geofabrik extracts. Name search runs against a trigram index instead of timing out against a public endpoint.

11.8 ms · zero marginal cost

Contact details read out of Common Crawl's archived pages, so gathering them costs the business you are researching nothing at all.

Archived · no site load

A crawler with an honest user agent that reads robots.txt, rate-limits itself per domain and caches what it has already seen. Web search stays off unless you supply a key.

Polite by default

The part most tools leave out

This is how the app has to work.

Not a setting you can turn on later. These are enforced in the code, not written down in a policy — which is the only version of a promise that survives a deadline.

  • 01Businesses, not people.

    A company’s own page is advertising and Forage reads it. A person’s photographs, posts and messages are their life, and Forage has no field to put them in.

  • 02Their front door, not their feed.

    Social accounts are a contact route, like a phone number — found where the company published it, on its own website, and asked about through the platform’s own API.

  • 03Public pages and real APIs.

    Nothing scraped from behind a login or an anti-bot wall. Where a platform offers a proper way in, Forage uses it and stays inside it — which is why nothing here can be banned for how it asked.

  • 04One identity, every request.

    No proxy rotation. Any site that wants us gone can block us in a single line, and we stay blocked.

  • 05A browser that says what it is.

    No fingerprint spoofing. The user agent names Forage and gives a way to reach us.

  • 06A closed door stays closed.

    No CAPTCHA solving. When a site says stop, the answer is no data — never data taken anyway.

  • 07A pace a small server can absorb.

    No timing mimicry to slip past rate limits. Forage backs off and comes back tomorrow for the rest.

  • 08Your mailbox, your domain.

    Forage never sends on your behalf from ours, so the sending reputation you build stays yours.

Someone examining a ledger with a magnifying glass

Evidence ledger

Every field remembers where it came from.

Strength belongs to the source, never to whoever wrote the record. A weak guess cannot be promoted by asserting it confidently.

Strong values apply straight away. Anything weak or inferred waits in a review queue for a person to accept or throw out.

A provenance panel on every lead answers the only question that matters in a complaint: why does this record say that?

Outreach

It sends from your mailbox. Never ours.

Forage is not an email provider and will not pretend to be one. Each workspace connects its own mailbox under Settings, and campaigns, replies and the composer all run through it — your domain, your reputation, your rate limits. Connect nothing and nothing goes out.

COMPOSE

A block editor that behaves

Drag to reorder with a mouse or the keyboard. Ten layouts in the gallery, or start blank. Two-column blocks stack properly on a phone and still survive Outlook.

ASSIST

An assistant that proposes

A conversation held over the draft on your screen. It suggests, you apply — and it is forbidden from inventing a URL, which is the way these things usually go wrong.

SEND

Your own IMAP and SMTP

One password, entered once, encrypted at rest. Forage hosts the inbox the way a panel hosts a server you rent — the mail itself stays yours.

Before anything leaves the building

Jurisdiction, per lead

DPDP Act 2023 and GDPR resolved from the lead's own country, not from your account settings.

A lawful basis gate

Set the basis for a jurisdiction or Forage will not send into it. The gate comes before the campaign, not after the complaint.

Suppression list

Present from the first commit rather than added once someone asked. A suppressed address stays suppressed everywhere.

Deletion endpoint

A person can be removed, and the removal is a real deletion rather than a hidden flag.

Pricing

Priced where you
actually are.

  • Unused leads roll over
