What it is
A bounded evidence-readiness workspace for Mac that reviews one public page, pasted draft or supported local file and turns measured structure, claim and source signals into a prioritised local report.
IndexHalo gives a writer or publisher a bounded evidence-readiness review of one source at a time. Start with a public-page URL, paste text directly, or open a local TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV, TSV, JSON or XML file no larger than 8 MB. Pasted text and local files are processed on the Mac. A URL analysis contacts the page you enter because the app must retrieve that public response before it can inspect it.
The report separates measured signals from interpretation. It surfaces document structure, claims, source references and the boundaries of what the current run could observe, then preserves the supporting evidence beside each finding. That makes the result an inspectable editorial aid rather than a hidden score or a promise that a search system will cite the page.
Recommendations are ordered for action. IndexHalo identifies the highest-impact retrievability issue, builds a prioritised evidence plan and provides a fix kit grounded in the measured page or draft. Completed reports can be kept in a local history on the current Mac, so teams can revisit the evidence and decisions from an earlier review without maintaining an IndexHalo account.
The scope is intentionally finite. Direct analyzes one page or document per run; it does not crawl a whole site, monitor pages in the background, render unsupported PDF or DOCX files, perform OCR, or automatically purchase observations from external providers. It cannot promise indexing, rankings, citations or traffic. The website Direct edition is permanently unlocked after one purchase and has no account, subscription, paywall or card entry inside the app.
How it does its job
Measured evidence signals
Inspect visible structure, claim and source signals with their supporting evidence and explicit observation boundaries.
Highest-impact action
Start with the retrievability issue the current report places first instead of working through an unranked checklist.
Prioritised fix kit
Turn the measured gaps into an ordered evidence action plan grounded in the source that was actually analyzed.
Local report history
Keep completed reports available on the current Mac for later review without creating a cloud account.
Private local inputs
Process pasted drafts and supported files locally; only a public-page URL needs a network request to retrieve that page.
What it doesn't do
IndexHalo is a bounded editorial evidence-readiness analyzer, not a search engine, crawler, browser-rendering service, rank tracker, traffic monitor, citation monitor, publishing platform or guarantee of discoverability. A URL run retrieves one public page; it does not crawl a whole site, follow every link, continuously monitor a property or implement the visible Full website mode. Login-protected, blocked, JavaScript-only or otherwise unavailable pages may not provide analyzable content. Local input is limited to one TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV, TSV, JSON or XML file up to 8 MB, or pasted text; PDF, DOCX, images, scans, OCR and multi-file corpus analysis are unsupported. Pasted text and supported local files are processed locally, while URL analysis necessarily contacts the requested page. Reports describe measured structure, claim and source signals plus recommendations derived from them. They are heuristic editorial aids, not proof that a search or answer engine has indexed, ranked, trusted or cited the content. The Direct edition does not automatically buy or retrieve paid-provider observations. Saved report history belongs to the current Mac and is not a claim of account sync, collaboration, remote backup or continuous monitoring. Users remain responsible for checking important claims, sources, accessibility, legal obligations and published changes independently.

Common questions
What is IndexHalo?
A local evidence-readiness analyzer for Mac. Review one public page, a pasted draft or a supported local text or data file, inspect measured structure, claim and source signals, and save a prioritised report.
Who is IndexHalo for?
IndexHalo is for writers, publishers, SEO teams and content strategists who want a bounded evidence-readiness review of one page or draft without uploading pasted or local-file content to an account service. Inspect one page or draft for visible evidence signals, find the highest-impact gap and save a practical action plan locally.
Does IndexHalo run on macOS?
Yes. IndexHalo is a native Mac app and runs on macOS 13+.
What can IndexHalo analyze?
It analyzes one public page, pasted text, or one local TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV, TSV, JSON or XML file up to 8 MB. Each run is a single-source review rather than a whole-site crawl.
Does IndexHalo crawl an entire website?
No. The current Direct edition analyzes a single public page per URL run. It does not crawl a site, follow every internal link, monitor changes in the background or implement the visible Full website mode.
Are pasted drafts and local files uploaded?
No. Pasted text and supported local files are processed locally on the Mac. A public-page URL requires network access to retrieve the page you explicitly ask IndexHalo to analyze.
Which file types are supported?
The current local-file workflow supports TXT, Markdown, HTML, CSV, TSV, JSON and XML files up to 8 MB. PDF, DOCX, images and OCR input are not supported; copy relevant text into the pasted-text workflow instead.
Does an IndexHalo report guarantee AI-search citations or rankings?
No. It is an editorial evidence-readiness aid based on observable structure, claim and source signals. It cannot guarantee indexing, ranking, citation, traffic or any response from a search or answer engine.
Does IndexHalo include paid-provider observations?
No automatic paid-provider observations are included in the Direct workflow. The report distinguishes measured local evidence from observation boundaries instead of implying access to unavailable external data.
Is the website edition fully unlocked?
Yes. IndexHalo Direct permanently unlocks the complete supported single-source workspace after one website purchase. It has no account, recurring subscription, in-app paywall or credit-card prompt.
Is this the same IndexHalo edition as the Mac App Store version?
No. The Mac App Store edition can include Apple's in-app subscription system. The website Direct edition is a separately signed build with no StoreKit purchase flow: one website purchase unlocks the complete app with no recurring charge.
Is IndexHalo the full version, or are features locked?
The download is the complete app. There is no subscription, no locked tier, no account, and no trial timer — every feature is included.
How do I get IndexHalo?
Choose $10 for one app, $20 for two different apps, or $49 for every published app through Stripe's hosted checkout on this page. The download starts straight away; each download link works once and expires after a while.
Is the IndexHalo Direct edition notarized by Apple?
Yes. Version 1.1.0 is signed with a Developer ID certificate, notarized by Apple, and distributed with a stapled notarization ticket. Its published SHA-256 checksum is 779896cb16d31c3d77561e7fea8c5e97d8086b04adb380d9a135c0bb6654534d.
