Maxun

Collect data from websites by recording your clicks or describing what you need, then keep watching for changes.

What it does

Maxun is a platform for gathering information from websites. You can record what you do in a browser and turn it into a reusable "robot", or describe in plain words what to collect and let AI do it.

It can also save whole web pages as text or screenshots, go through every page of a site, search the web, pull data out of documents, and alert you when a site changes.

You can use it through a visual dashboard, or developers can use it from code, the command line, or as a tool for AI agents. There's a hosted version, or you can run it yourself.

Who it's for

Researchers, analysts and businesses that need to collect or monitor web data, with or without coding.

Can I use it without coding?
