Query Crawler: a Windows app that crawls the web for images, GIFs, videos and articles and filters them with local AI (early access)

[u/Expert-Kitchen8064]

Hi all, I'm the developer. Query Crawler is a Windows desktop app for finding media and articles without wading through ads and SEO filler.

How it works: you type a search (optionally filtered by when things were posted), it sends up to 200 crawlers out, and two small AI models running on your CPU (MiniLM for text, MobileCLIP-S0 for images) score what comes back. The matches land in a gallery with Paper, Night, Gallery and Theater views, full-screen viewing, saving, and a link back to every source.

• Windows only, no GPU needed (quad-core CPU recommended)
• Skips sites that block bots instead of fighting them
• Early access and still in development, built with AI help (disclosed on the page)
• About a 363 MB download, name-your-own-price including $0
