A private intelligence layer for the browser. Run it fully on your device or on independent, decentralized infrastructure — built on open models, grounded in your own private search, and never trained on your chats. The intelligence is open. The privacy is ours.
Most browser AI asks you to trust one company's opaque model and its data practices at the same time. Searxly AI separates the two. We run leading open models — auditable, swappable, no single-vendor lock-in — and wrap them in a privacy and grounding architecture that we own and keep: your search stays private, your data stays yours, and you choose where the compute happens.
No hyperscaler quietly harvesting your prompts. The safe choice is the default choice.
Apple Intelligence and local models run entirely on your Mac. Prompts, context and your private data never leave the machine — verifiable with a network monitor.
When you want more horsepower, the private cloud runs open models on a decentralized GPU network — independent compute, not a Big-Tech data center built to profile you.
A single toggle in Settings — nothing more to configure. Local stays the default; the private cloud is opt-in, and what it does is stated in plain language.
A model on its own is a commodity. What you actually feel is how it's grounded, what it remembers, what it's allowed to do — and what it refuses to leak.
Answers are synthesized from your own local SearXNG instance — the same private engine that powers Searxly search — with inline citations. Never a public index, never an ad network, never your intent for sale.
Optional semantic recall across your history and bookmarks, computed on-device so the AI can answer "what was that article I read about…" without a byte of it ever being uploaded.
It can search privately, open the right official site (resolved from a curated, auditable entity database — not a lucky guess), and read files you attach. Every action is visible, logged, and reversible. You can require a confirmation for anything that touches the network.
Built on leading open-weight models you can inspect and we can swap as the field moves. You're never trapped behind one vendor's black box, one vendor's terms, or one vendor's outage.
No training on your conversations. No ad identity, no behavioral profile. A master kill-switch makes the whole layer inert, panic-wipe clears its memory, and every model call is written to an activity log you can read and export.
That's the whole bet. If an AI can only be useful by watching you, it isn't the one we want to ship — and it isn't the one you deserve. So we made the intelligence open, the compute your choice, and the privacy non-negotiable.
Chatting is the easy part. The harder, more useful problem is letting the model act inside the browser — reliably, and only with consent. That's the Searxly Agent: tool calling wired into the browser and grounded in your private data, never an open door.
The agent searches through your own SearXNG, reads the results, and answers in chat with citations — never a public index or an ad network. Trigger it yourself with the "Web search" chip, or let the model decide.
Ask it to open something and it resolves the real, official destination from a curated, auditable entity database — instantly and correctly, instead of guessing from a search result. Explicit navigation only; it won't wander off.
On supported Macs it uses the model's native, structured tool calling — not brittle text parsing — so the model decides when to act and the browser runs the bound action. A reliable marker-based path covers everything else.
One toggle decides whether tools run automatically or ask first. Every tool call is shown in the transcript and written to an activity log you can read and export — nothing happens behind your back.
Search your history and bookmarks in plain language, open a set of results in tabs, bookmark a page with a note from the conversation, or spin up a fresh private search tab — all on-device, all from a single sentence.
Stronger grounding, classification and confirmation so the agent can chain a couple of steps — "look this up, then open the official site" — without misfiring, even on small on-device models.
Exposing the agent's actions to Spotlight, Shortcuts and Siri, so "private search for X" or "start a Searxly chat" become first-class system commands — without giving up a shred of the privacy contract.
On-device chat is already taking shape inside the app, with the private cloud rolling out next. Early builds reach the community first — follow along for the announcement and grab the app early through the holder waitlist.
