Stop clicking through dashboards. Start asking questions.

Other tools give you charts.
But you want answers.

SEO tools show you graphs and expect you to figure out what they mean. The Crawl Tool is different - it saves your entire website to your computer, then lets you chat with AI about it. Ask "which pages are missing meta descriptions?" and get a real answer. Not a dashboard. An actual list. Has a graph ever given you bulk description suggestions?

You

Which pages on my site are missing meta descriptions?

I found 18 pages without meta descriptions. Here are the top ones:

  • /blog/getting-started-guide - no meta description
  • /services/consulting - no meta description
  • /about/our-team - no meta description
  • ...15 more pages

Want me to generate descriptions for all of them?

You

Yes please, and save them as notes.

The problems you actually have

Sound familiar?

"I don't know what's wrong with my site"

SEO tools throw hundreds of data points at you. The Crawl Tool lets you just ask "what's broken?" and get a plain-English answer based on your actual pages.

"I need to find specific issues across hundreds of pages"

Ask "which pages are missing meta descriptions?", "show me all images without alt tags", or "find pages with duplicate titles" - and get every matching page in one answer.

"Other SEO tools cost a fortune"

Monthly subscriptions add up fast. The Crawl Tool is free to try on one site, or just 19.99 EUR per year for unlimited sites. Use it with free local AI and your ongoing costs are zero.

"Other AI tools get distracted and give bad output"

General-purpose AI wanders off-topic, hallucinates, and gives you vague advice. The Crawl Tool is built specifically for website analysis - it stays focused, works with real crawled data, and only gets better.

"I want to understand my competitor's site"

Crawl their website, then ask the AI to summarise their content strategy, extract all their CTAs, or compare their product pages to yours. No manual reading required.

"I'm tired of wasting time on manual checks"

Cluster pages into topic groups, find outlier pages that don't fit your site's theme, or generate keyword suggestions - tasks that used to take hours now take one question.

How it works

Three steps. No config files. No setup headaches.

01

Connect AI

Open the built-in Chat tab, paste an API key for OpenRouter (or connect to a local AI running on your own machine). You only need to do this once.

Chat tab in the app
□ Connect to OpenRouter
□ Or connect to local AI
○ Ready to go
02

Crawl a site

Just type "crawl www.example.com" in the chat and press enter. The app visits every page and saves everything locally. JavaScript pages, lazy-loaded content - it handles it all.

Ask questions

Chat with AI about what you crawled. Ask anything - "Which pages have broken images?", "What does the pricing page say?", "Find all blog posts about SEO".

Testimonials

Reviews we're sure our customers would have made if we asked for reviews.

"I bought Screaming Frog instead because it pays for itself in just 12.5 years!"

- Someone who hasn't tried this yet

"Wait, I could've bought this and a computer capable of running local AI for less than a yearly SEMrush subscription?"

- A marketer doing the maths

"Used this for work. We solved all our problems with it. Is anybody looking to hire an SEO?"

- An SEO with too much free time

"I asked it to find all pages missing meta descriptions. It did. I asked it to write them. It did. I asked it to make me a coffee. It said no. 4/5."

- A demanding website owner

"My competitor spent 3 hours analysing their site with a dashboard tool. I spent 3 minutes asking questions and got a coffee. I'm not saying I'm better, but I am."

- An SEO who definitely isn't humble

"They do not seem to be charging enough to pay the protection money."

- The mafia

"This is a great tool. A great great tool. It's the greatest tool that ever there was. A really great tool. Thank you for your attention in this matter."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is this different from other SEO tools?

Other tools show you dashboards and expect you to figure things out. We save your website data and let AI do the analysis for you. Ask a question in plain English, get an answer based on your actual pages. And with local AI getting better every month, you can even avoid ongoing AI costs.

Which AI services can I use?

The built-in Chat works with OpenRouter and any local AI that has an API endpoint - including models running on your own computer via LM Studio or similar tools.

Is my data sent to your servers?

No. Everything stays on your computer. Your website crawl is saved locally, and your AI conversations happen directly between the app and your chosen AI service.

Does it work on Mac and Linux?

The app is built to work on all desktop platforms. We currently ship a Windows installer, with Mac and Linux versions coming soon.

Can it crawl JavaScript-heavy websites?

Yes. The app renders pages exactly like a real browser would, so single-page applications and sites with lazy-loaded content are handled properly.

What about existing subscribers?

Existing subscribers get a free lifetime Pro license. If you haven't received migration instructions, please check your email.

How much AI context size do I need?

We recommend at least 100,000 tokens of context for every 100 pages you've crawled. So if you've crawled 300 pages, aim for 300,000 tokens. More context means the AI can hold more of your site in memory at once and give you better answers.

Stop guessing. Start asking.
