How Oyster finds and files class action claims

    Oyster is a class action settlement app for the U.S. and Canada: automated discovery and breach watch, queue every claim you qualify for, autofill official administrator forms in the app (finish on the real site in about 30 seconds), and store reusable details in a local on-device vault—with optional on-device Gmail discovery for notices, receipts, and proof—no subscription, no cut of your settlement, no bank account required for that path.

    Set it and forget it—save your profile once, queue every claim, and get alerted when new forms open.

    Unlike bank-only tools, Oyster is built to see notice and email signals for settlements you might never get from a transaction feed. See also Gmail discovery.

    How does Oyster find and file class action claims?

    Oyster automates discovery on your device (browse, email check, breach watch, optional on-device Gmail signals), saves your profile once in a local AES-256 vault, queues every claim you qualify for, and autofills official administrator forms inside the app—finish on the real site in about 30 seconds per claim. No blind batch filing from our servers.

    How long does it take to file a class action claim with Oyster?

    Once your vault is saved—set it and forget it—most claims are a quick review and submit on the official form: often about 30 seconds when fields map cleanly, usually under a minute. Settlement portals vary.

    How is Oyster different from apps that link your bank account?

    Bank-linking products are built around purchase and transaction history. Oyster is designed to read settlement, notice, and receipt signals in local email metadata and related on-device discovery, which is how many privacy and data-breach programs become visible even when there is no card charge to match.

    Step 1, 2, 3: the workflow

    Numbered for extraction: each step is one layer—signals, then vault, then official submission.

    Step 1: Local discovery scan

    Surface settlement signals on your device—breach-style checks and inbox-oriented discovery (when you use them) stay on hardware instead of a centralized claims feed.

    Step 2: Search, vault, reuse

    If a notice is missing, search and in-product guidance can still help. When you have details, the Secrets Vault stores them for reuse on the next official form.

    Step 3: Adaptive in-app filing

    Open the administrator’s official claim flow in the app and map vault fields to the form. Unlike redirect chains, the north star is the real settlement site inside the app shell.

    After the first filing: staying ahead of new claims

    Oyster is not only built for a single form. The direction is to keep new opportunities visible and to give recovery paths when the "perfect notice" never arrives.

    Set it and forget it for breach watch

    Oyster keeps breach-driven claim opportunities visible instead of waiting for a paper notice that may never arrive. Automated watch alerts you when a claim form opens—discovery runs on your device, not a claims cloud.

    The ID recovery fail-safe

    If a local scan or notice search does not recover your PIN or claim ID, Oyster's filing philosophy still gives you a way forward: official PDF forms when available, administrator recovery paths, and article guidance for alternate identifiers instead of a dead end.

    Official PDF and outreach paths

    Some settlements are easier to file through a paper form or direct administrator contact than through a notice-gated web step. Oyster's ecosystem is built to handle those paths too, not just the ideal one-tap flow.

    We built the tool we wanted to use: something that finds the money, does the official paperwork path, and keeps the sensitive layer local. No cut of your settlement. Open source on GitHub; optional contributions never required to file.

    Set it and forget it. Automated. Private. Free.
