OneTimeCrawl any site on your own machine and ship a clean sitemap.
Screaming Frog charges £199 a year, forever, for a crawler most people use to do one thing: audit a site and ship a sitemap. Maptrail does exactly that on your own machine — point it at a URL, crawl locally, and get a standards-compliant sitemap.xml, a human-readable HTML sitemap and a full CSV SEO report. $19, once. Your sitemap is not a subscription.
Maptrail in 60 seconds
Everything in the box
Local website crawler and sitemap generator — XML, HTML and a full CSV SEO report, offline.
Local breadth-first crawler
Enter a URL and crawl the whole site from your machine with a live progress table — status, depth, title, meta length, H1, word count.
Depth, limit & pattern controls
Set max depth and page limit, plus include/exclude URL patterns (substrings or /regex/) to skip tag and sort pages.
Standards-compliant sitemap.xml
lastmod pulled from real Last-Modified headers, priority scaled by crawl depth.
Automatic 50k index chunking
Sites over 50,000 URLs split into numbered sitemaps plus a sitemap-index.xml, exactly per the sitemaps.org spec.
Full CSV SEO report
Every crawled page with status, title, meta, H1, word count, canonical and noindex — including the 404s the sitemap correctly leaves out, so you can fix them.
Local crawl history
Every crawl saved locally so you can reload, re-export or delete it — nothing leaves your disk.

Fair questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Maptrail is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/sitemap-generator-mvp. The $19 buys the signed Windows installer, 1-click setup and updates; building from source is free.
Does it do everything Screaming Frog does?
No, and we'd rather say so. Screaming Frog also does log-file analysis, JS rendering and integrations. If you need all that, buy it. If you need clean sitemaps and a crawl report, Maptrail does that for $19 once.
Does my crawl data get uploaded?
Never. Maptrail makes network requests only to the site you tell it to crawl — no telemetry, no update pings, no account. History lives in a local SQLite file.
What platforms does it run on?
The packaged installer is for Windows. The MIT source runs anywhere Electron does if you build it yourself.
