# The app at a glance

> One window. A menu bar along the top, a toolbar that starts a crawl, a rail on the left — a strip of sections and a panel with the open section's views — the open view in the middle, and a status bar at the bottom that says what the app is doing.

## On the screen

The window in Simple mode with a saved crawl open on the [Overview](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/overview).

Numbered parts of the screenshot:

1. **Menu bar.** **File**, **Edit**, **View**, **Crawl**, **Bulk export**, **Reports**, **Visualisations** and **Help**, after the app's name and version. On the right: **Feedback**, **Sign in with Google** or the signed-in account, and the gear that opens Settings.
2. **Toolbar.** **URL** and **Max URLs** (and **Mode** in Pro), **Start**, **Clear**, the **Embeddings** box for this crawl, and **Export** for the table on screen.
3. **Section strip.** Overview, Reports, Checks, Meaning, Site, GSC, AI, Free tools and Projects. Pressing one opens its views in the panel beside it.
4. **Panel.** The open crawl at the top, **Go to a screen…**, then the views of the open section. Here the section is Overview, with its one view.
5. **Hide and Ctrl K.** **Hide** folds the panel (**Show** brings it back; **Ctrl B** does both). **Ctrl K** opens the palette of every screen.
6. **Simple / Pro, Hybrid / AI.** Two switches at the foot of the panel: how much the app shows, and whom the checks are rated for.
7. **Status bar.** The crawl's state, the crawl counter and its bar, the fragments counter for embeddings, and under them **RAM**, **CPU**, **GPU**, **Session** time and the version.

## The toolbar

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| URL | The address to crawl. Earlier start addresses are offered as you type. |
| Mode | Spider + sitemap, Spider only, Sitemap only, or List of URLs. Pro mode only; Simple mode uses the default mode from [Settings › General](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/settings-general). |
| Max URLs | Where the crawl stops. |
| Start | Starts the crawl. While it runs, the button reads **Stop**, and **Pause** appears beside it; a paused crawl shows **Resume**. |
| Add URLs | During a crawl: adds addresses to its queue. |
| Clear | Shown when nothing is crawling: empties the window for a new crawl. Saved crawls stay saved. |
| Embeddings | Whether this crawl builds embeddings for topics, cannibalization and semantic search. Its starting state comes from [Settings › Embeddings](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/settings-embeddings). |
| Export | Exports the table on screen. |

## The left rail

Two columns: a narrow strip of sections, and beside it a panel with the views of the section that is open. Pressing a section opens its panel; pressing the open section again folds the panel away and gives the view the room. **Overview** has one view and opens it at once.

| Section | Views in its panel |
| --- | --- |
| Overview | [Overview](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/overview) |

| Part | What it shows or does |
| --- | --- |
| GL | The top of the strip opens the Overview. While a crawl runs, a ring around it fills with the crawl's progress. |
| Red dot | On **Checks**, when Issues has checks to count. |
| Open crawl | At the top of the panel: the site, its URL count and date, and its health score. Pressing it lists the saved crawls. |
| Go to a screen… | Opens the palette, as **Ctrl K** does. The last three screens opened sit under it, one click away. |
| Panel heading | The section's name, and the panel icon that folds the panel. |
| Hide / Show | At the foot of the strip: folds the panel and brings it back. **Ctrl B** does the same. |
| Ctrl K | Under Hide: opens the palette. |

The app remembers on this computer whether the panel is folded and which Reports headings are folded. A lock on a view means it is not open on this account; pressing it says what opens it.

## Go to a screen: Ctrl K

Every screen by its name, in one list. Type part of a name or of a section, move with the arrows, open with Enter; Escape closes it. A report or a Search Console page opens exactly as its button in the panel does, and a locked view stays locked.

![The Ctrl K palette of GLLmolfar listing the screens whose names contain se](https://www.getlooploop.com/images/gllmolfar/docs/command-palette.webp)

Numbered parts of the screenshot:

1. **Go to a screen….** The field at the top of the panel. Pressing it opens the palette, as **Ctrl K** does anywhere in the window.
2. **The field.** **Go to… a report, a tab, a check**. Here it holds **se**.
3. **Screens.** Each screen whose name or section contains the text. The one chosen is highlighted; Enter opens it.
4. **Section.** Where the screen lives on the rail: Reports, Meaning, Site, Search Console.
5. **Ctrl K on the strip.** The same palette from the foot of the strip.

- **No match** — the app says: "Nothing by that name" No screen's name or section contains the text.

## Simple and Pro, Hybrid and AI

Two switches sit at the foot of the panel. Simple and Pro can also be changed in **View** and in [Settings › General](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/settings-general).

| Switch | Choice | What changes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Simple / Pro | Simple | What to do and why. The panels leave out Issues, Cannibalization, Link opportunities and Semantic search, the page table is called **All pages**, and the toolbar has no **Mode**. |
| Simple / Pro | Pro | Every table and filter: every view, the crawl tabs above the table, **Compare with**, column search, **Tree**, **Columns** and the **Overview panel**. |
| Hybrid / AI | Hybrid | Search engines and AI assistants together. |
| Hybrid / AI | AI | Only AI crawlers, assistants and agents: how they fetch, read and quote the site. Checks are rated for AI readers, and the score is AI readiness. |

## Waits, terms and tables

| What | How it looks |
| --- | --- |
| A wait | One bar, the same on every screen: what is happening, the seconds so far (**N s**) and, once this kind of wait has been seen on this computer, **usually about** its usual length. When the work reports how far it is, the bar is that; otherwise it is the share of the usual time, held short of the end until the work is done. |
| A technical term | nosnippet, X-Robots-Tag, hreflang, canonical, embeddings and the like have a dotted underline. Hovering or focusing one shows a sentence that explains it and **More in the GetLoopLoop glossary**. [Settings › General](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/settings-general) switches it off: **Explain technical terms (nosnippet, X-Robots-Tag…) on hover**. |
| A table on a narrow window | No column is hidden and nothing scrolls sideways. First the text wraps and an address shrinks to one line with … (the full address is its tooltip); if that is not enough, each row becomes a small card with every cell under its column's name. The page table in [Internal](https://www.getlooploop.com/gllmolfar/docs/all-pages) keeps its own scrolling. |

## The status bar

| Part | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| State | A coloured dot and the state, with the site and date for a saved crawl, or a message about the crawl. |
| Crawl | URLs crawled out of the crawl's ceiling, then what is in the queue, the speed, pages rendered with JavaScript, pages skipped by scope or met with a CAPTCHA, and external links checked. A bar follows. |
| Fragments | The page sections turned into embeddings, with what is waiting, the speed and the time left; **saved with the crawl** when they are done. |
| RAM | Memory used by GLLmolfar. The tooltip adds the embedding model's share and the computer's total. |
| CPU | Share of all processor cores used by GLLmolfar. |
| GPU | Load of the app's GPU process. |
| Session | Time since GLLmolfar started. |
| Version | The installed version; the tooltip adds when it was built. |

RAM and CPU turn amber, then red, as they climb.
