Eagle Eye · for macOS

Find someone's social profiles from just a photo — on your Mac.

macOS Apple Silicon & Intel license beginner friendly

Eagle Eye running natively on macOS


✨ What is this?

Give it a name and a few photos of a person and it searches social networks, uses face recognition to confirm matches, and builds a tidy report of the profiles it believes belong to them.

This repository is a macOS-ready conversion — packaged so it runs on an Apple Mac (Intel or Apple Silicon) without needing a Linux computer or a virtual machine. Released by C.Studva under the MIT license (see LICENSE). Free to use, change and share.

🚀 Quick start

Open the Terminal app (press Cmd ⌘ + Space, type Terminal, hit Return), then:

1. Get the files onto your Mac

git clone https://github.com/reapersapprentice/EagleEye-macOS.git
cd EagleEye-macOS

2. Install what it needs (one time)

brew install cmake cairo pango gdk-pixbuf libffi geckodriver
xcode-select --install
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Run it

python3 eagle-eye.py

(put the target's known photos in the known/ folder first — see that folder's note)

That's it — you're running Eagle Eye on your Mac. 🎉

🧰 What it can do

  • Face-recognition matching to confirm the right person
  • Searches across major social networks
  • Generates a clean PDF/JSON report of the findings

💻 What you need

  • A Mac (macOS 12 or newer) — Intel or Apple Silicon
  • Python 3 (already on macOS)
  • Homebrew (the Quick Start installs everything else for you)

🆘 New to the Terminal? Read this (30 seconds)

  • The Terminal is just a window where you type commands. Nothing here can hurt your Mac.
  • Run the commands one line at a time, pressing Return after each.
  • To paste, use Cmd ⌘ + V.
  • ⚠️ Copy only the command itself — never the three back-ticks around it, and never a line that starts with # (those are notes). Pasting those is the #1 beginner mistake and causes a parse error.
  • If a command seems stuck, it's usually just working — give it a minute.
