Application Options

Home » Help »

Options are where all the global settings/preferences reside. You can navigate to options by clicking the cog icon at the lower left hand side of the application.

Dark Mode

InterroBot has light/dark mode. It operates independently of OS preferences.

Turning on dark mode.

Crawler Options

Crawler options have moved to a per-project basis to allow greater flexibility.

Crawler Data API

Crawler data is provided via a JSON REST API (Application Programming Interface). An endpoint is provided, in-app, on the options page. It should be noted that the full-text field contains minor (HTML) and major (PDF/DOCX) modifications to the text to facilitate search. Whether HTML, PDF or a Word document, the contents should be used with this in mind.

Database Management

Export Database. Exports the existing database to a sqlite3 binary to the user's downloads directory. The exported file can be loaded back into InterroBot later, or shared.

Load Database. Overwrites the current database with the loaded database. This operation is destructive. Consider exporting the existing database before the overwrite if you'll need it later.

Compress Database. Issues a SQL VACUUM command to remove unused database from disk. This is a database-blocking operation and will render InterroBot unresponsive for a time (longer than you think). Let it do its thing, and avoid any temptation to close the app during this operation.


InterroBot is a web crawler and developer tool for Windows, macOS, and Android.
