Return to: Software NewsSEO Crawling Goes Cross-Platform as KWT Spider 3.0 Arrives on Windows, macOS, and LinuxNEW DELHI — September 3, 2026 — KWT Spider announced the release of version 3.0 of its desktop based technical SEO crawling application on September 3, 2026. The update introduces native support for macOS and Linux, marking the first time the software has run on an operating system other than Windows since it was first developed. The macOS build supports both Apple Silicon and Intel processors, while the Linux build is distributed as AppImage, deb, and rpm packages. The company said the interface, crawl modes, and reporting structure are consistent across all three operating systems, so results and saved sessions created on one platform can be opened on another without conversion. Alongside the platform expansion, version 3.0 changes how the software processes large websites, storing crawl data in a local database file rather than in active memory. The company states this allows crawls exceeding 50,000 URLs to run without the slowdown associated with the earlier method. "A crawler that only ran on one operating system meant a portion of the people who wanted to use it could not," said a spokesperson for the company. "Making it available on Mac and Linux was the main goal of this release." The update also includes a feature that scores individual pages on how they may be read by artificial intelligence based search systems, a mode for reviewing locally stored files before publication, and the ability to resume an interrupted crawl from where it stopped. KWT Spider is offered in a free version limited to 250 URLs per session and a licensed version, tested past 50,000 URLs, that adds data export and the complete page scoring feature. Installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux are available from the company's website.
