The OutWit platform is a flexible Web Collection Engine and download management environment, developed by OutWit Technologies and released as a first public beta in May 2008.

The OutWit Kernel includes a large library of recognition and extraction functions, packaged as a free extension for Mozilla Firefox. Around the Kernel can be built an unlimited number of application thanks to an API. The platform's license allows advanced users to build and distribute their own original tools —called outfits— taking advantage of the Kernel's features for specific applications. Each outfit is a small XUL extension, with its own user interface, features, scripts, scrapers, directory of Web sources...
