Application Options
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.
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 contains modifications to PDF and DOCX files to facilitate search, these files are reduced to text-only.
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.
Developer Tools
Windows and macOS only
This section contains options to open web developer tools, used in plugin development, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) configuration information.
MCP allows Claude Desktop, along with future MCP capable clients, to query the InterroBot database, leveraging our fulltext search index as a high performance data source. To set up the MCP connection, you'll need to install Claude Desktop and familiarize yourself with the documentation on configuring the connection.
InterroBot is a web crawler and developer tool for Windows, macOS, and Android.
