About

Crawler.sh is a fast, local-first web crawler and SEO/AEO analysis tool. It crawls entire sites in seconds from the terminal or a native desktop app, runs automated SEO checks, and extracts page content as clean Markdown.

Results can be exported to JSON, CSV, or sitemap XML, and because it runs locally, crawls are not gated by a hosted service's limits or pricing.

It is aimed at SEO practitioners, developers, and content teams who want to audit sites and pull structured content quickly, and who are also thinking about answer-engine optimisation (AEO), how well pages surface in AI-generated answers.

Why we picked it

Crawler.sh stood out for running entirely local with no hosted-service limits or pricing gate — crawling a whole site from the terminal in seconds is worth naming for someone who's hit a crawl-limit paywall on a hosted SEO tool mid-audit.
