Features

An interactive TUI, not just a CLI

Launch rdtsearch with no argument to open the interactive interface: live stats sidebar, command palette, fish-style ghost completion (the likely continuation appears in grey, accepted with →), keyboard history, and a number key to open a result in the browser.

Built-in tracker and adult-content detection

Visual tracking-level indicators (●/●/●) and an 18+ badge shown directly in the results, before you even click.

SEO tooling from the command line

Global link graph, top linked domains, per-domain backlinks (source, anchor, nofollow/sponsored/UGC), anchor-text distribution, evolution history and CSV/JSON export — with a daily local cache to save the anonymous quota (10 backlinks per analysis, 3 analyses per day).

Zero dependencies, a single file

Written in Python 3.8+ stdlib only, single file, Windows-first (Linux/macOS supported), with automatic ASCII fallback on legacy Windows consoles. AGPLv3 license, no data collected — only calls to the RDTvlokip Search API.
