What we stand for

Principles.

Privacy isn't a feature you bolt on at the end — it's a set of decisions you make at the start, and refuse to walk back. These are ours.

01

Local-first

The thing that knows what you searched for should be a machine you own. Searxly runs a real search engine on your Mac, so there's no server in the middle keeping logs by default.

02

No telemetry

No accounts, no analytics, no phone-home. We don't measure you to improve the product; we read the code, the issues, and the community instead.

03

Self-custody, always

Your wallet keys are generated and encrypted on your device and never leave it. Not to us, not to a cloud, not to anyone. Recovery is your phrase — your responsibility, your control.

04

Unlinkable by default

Every dApp can get its own dedicated address, so the sites you use can't be stitched into one identity. Private tabs never expose the wallet. The defaults protect you before you think to.

05

Verifiable, not just promised

The source is open for review. "Trust us" is the weakest claim in software — we'd rather you check. Crypto is validated against known reference vectors, not vibes.

06

Ruthless simplicity

One monochrome surface, no clutter, color only where it means something. A tool you can hold in your head is a tool you can trust. Less is the whole point.

What Searxly does

Runs search locally · keeps your keys on-device · asks before any site connects · ships a flat, honest interface · stays open for review.

What Searxly won't do

Profile you · sell data · log your queries to our servers · hide what it's doing · pretend a setting is the same as an architecture.

Hold the line

Privacy you don't have to configure.

Get Searxly via the holder waitlist and start with the defaults right from the first launch.
