What you get with Uruky
Privacy first
No ads, no tracking, no analytics. No emails or names stored, just an account number (like Mullvad). We have no incentive to track your searches.
Search personalization
Tune results to you: exclude or boost domains. No assistants, news, or summaries. You can search with JavaScript disabled. What Kagi was, originally.
True ownership and validation
After 12 months as a paying customer, you get a copy of the source code.
Just search
We're building a private search engine, not an ecosystem. There are already many privacy-focused alternatives for other services controlled by big tech.
EU-based
EU servers, EU storage, EU payment processing, EU search providers (Marginalia, Mojeek, EUSP, etc.).
Not another AI tool
There are no plans to implement any AI features, for now. We find it hard to do in a sensible, responsible, and respectful way.
