🎉 New Feature: Tag-Based Annotation Now Available in Your Rapport
We’re excited to announce a powerful new feature in Your Rapport, our Chrome extension purpose-built for digital researchers, investigators, and OSINT professionals. Starting today, you can now annotate your collected data using customizable tags — giving you even more control over how you organize, search, and analyze the information you’ve captured.
🏷️ What Is Tag-Based Annotation?
When you capture web content using Your Rapport, you can now assign one or more tags to each record — think of them as smart labels that describe the nature, topic, priority, or status of the data. Tags can be anything:
person-of-interestsuspicious-domainarchivedmalware-hostlocation-matchedhigh-priority- …you decide.
Whether you’re capturing screenshots from a deep-dive investigation or collecting social media profiles in bulk, tags make it easy to contextualize your data and find it again later — fast.
🔍 Why Tags Matter for OSINT Workflows
In the world of open-source intelligence, information overload is a daily challenge. Here’s how tagging can radically simplify and strengthen your workflow:
1. Instant Searchability
Tagging transforms your growing data archive into a structured, filterable dataset. Want to find all screenshots from your investigation on “Russian disinformation campaigns”? Just search for the tag russian-propaganda — no need to remember the exact URL or date.
2. Better Organization Without Complex Folders
Rather than nesting folders inside folders, tags let you categorize data in flexible, overlapping ways. A single capture can be tagged both urgent and social-media, so you can surface it from multiple angles depending on what you’re working on.
3. Prioritization and Triage
Use tags like review-needed, verified, or discarded to track your review status. This is especially helpful when working in teams or over long research sessions.
4. Improved Data Enrichment
Pairing tags with metadata like timestamps, domains, or selectors makes it easier to build enriched profiles, case files, or datasets for deeper analysis — and makes automated exports more meaningful.
5. Faster Collaboration & Reporting
When working with partners or stakeholders, shared tag conventions streamline communication. Want to export all content tagged forensics for your case manager? It’s one click away.
🚀 How to Use It
After updating to the latest version of Your Rapport, you’ll see a new “Tags” input field when viewing any collected data record. Simply type your tag and press enter. You can add as many tags as needed — and our upcoming update will even offer tag suggestions based on your existing usage.
🔒 Local-First, Tag-Smart
As always, Your Rapport stores everything locally and securely on your machine. Your annotations, tags, and content are never sent to the cloud or a third party. This update strengthens Your Rapport’s mission to be a privacy-first OSINT tool that puts researchers in control.
🧪 Try It Out
Tag-based annotation is available today in the latest release. If you’re already using Your Rapport, the update should roll out automatically. New users can install it here and start annotating right away.
We can’t wait to see how you’ll use tagging to level up your open-source investigations. If you have feedback or ideas for new features, reach out — we’re building this for you.
