Ringer reads the pages where your name turns up and flags profiles using your name (even misspelled on purpose), copying your bio, reusing your own photos, or showing your face. It drafts the impersonation report for each one; you decide and send it.
Nothing opens in this browser — this one takes a job and does the work on our own graphics cards in Oregon. The free allowance below is how you try it: 200 pages, no card and no payment, on the key you are issued.
Runs on this computer today. It reads the web when three pieces are in place — see below.
The problem
Leak finders match copies of your own files. An impostor uses a new photo of your face, an AI-made picture of you, or your name with one letter swapped — none of which a copy-matcher catches. Fans pay the impostor and blame you.
Look-alike spellings are folded before comparing: a capital I for an l, a zero for an o, an underscore here and there.
Your name, your bio, your own photo reused (matched by fingerprint), and your face in a new picture. Name plus any other is a likely impersonation.
Ringer drafts the report. It never reports anybody by itself.
Ringer reads pages on this computer only until every picture it reads is checked against known abuse material with PhotoDNA, it runs on GPU capacity whose terms allow adult content, and it has a public https address.
How it works
Your names and handles, your bio, and a few photos of you - with your consent written down.
Searches for your name, suspect profiles, and your own real profiles.
Each candidate with its evidence and a drafted report.
What it will never do
A wrong report hurts somebody else. Every candidate is yours to judge.
Pricing
A unit is one page read. A page that could not be read is free.
A few searches on the platforms that worry you.
A month of weekly searches.
An agency watching for its creators.
Paid in bitcoin through our own checkout; the pages are added to your key as soon as the payment confirms. Your licence key is emailed to you within two working days of payment.
Checkout is our own bitcoin server, not a card processor. The units you buy are added to your key: buy from the Buy more box inside the program and they arrive on their own once the payment confirms, or buy here and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that box.
Questions
No. It reads the pages you give it, and asks a vision model whether pictures there show the same person as your reference photos. It is not face recognition.
No tool reliably does. Ringer flags pages that use your name, bio or likeness, however the picture was made.
A page using only your name is 'worth a look', not 'likely'. You mark it as not about you.
Kept small on this computer for comparing, and deleted the moment you press the button.
A key. One line of text, issued to you and shown exactly once — only its hash is kept here, so it cannot be looked up later and we could not tell you what yours is. Every key arrives with a free allowance already on it, which is the tier at the top of the pricing above, and the work starts the first time you send a job with that key on it.
Each job is metered in the unit named in the pricing, and a unit that fails — a file that will not read, a row the model held back — is not charged and is named in the job report rather than silently skipped. When an allowance runs out the next job is refused before any work starts, with the number it used printed on the refusal.
More units are bought in bitcoin. The checkout is a bitcoin server we run ourselves. Buy from the Buy more box inside the program and the units are added to your key on their own as soon as the payment confirms; buy from the plan buttons above and paste the invoice number from your receipt into that same box. Each payment adds its units once, to one key.
Make a key, add your name and bio, and watch the search page where your name turns up.
