About

What is Kagi alternative (simpler and EU-based)?

Uruky is a private search engine designed for users prioritizing privacy, an ad-free experience, and an EU-based service. Unlike many alternatives, Uruky is search-only, avoiding ecosystem sprawl and not incorporating AI into its stack. It offers personalized search results, allowing users to exclude or boost specific domains, and ensures no tracking or logging of search queries. A key differentiator is its commitment to data ownership, providing paying customers with a copy of the source code after 12 months. Uruky operates with EU servers, storage, and payment processing, utilizing EU search providers to maintain its privacy-centric and regional focus.

Best used for

Ideal for students, researchers, and privacy-conscious individuals who need to perform web searches without ads, tracking, or AI interference. Especially valuable for those seeking EU-centric results and a commitment to data ownership, including access to the source code.

FAQs

Does Uruky offer a free trial?

No, Uruky does not offer a free trial due to the costs associated with preventing abuse from bots and automated tools. Users can sign up and top-up their account to start using the service, with a 14-day money-back guarantee available.

What personal data does Uruky store?

Uruky stores minimal personal data. It does not store email addresses or names, only an account number, creation timestamp, and payment ID/timestamp for 15 days for refunds. User sessions are stored for up to 30 days with country and device type for abuse prevention, and can be deleted by the user.

Will Uruky implement AI features in the future?

Currently, Uruky has no plans to implement AI features. The team finds it challenging to integrate AI in a sensible, responsible, and respectful manner, aligning with their focus on a simpler, private search experience without AI in the stack.

How can I get a copy of Uruky's source code?

Customers who have been paying for Uruky for at least 12 months can receive a copy of the source code. This requires signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with a non-compete clause (NCC), allowing personal use and self-hosting but not distribution or commercial use without permission.

How does Uruky ensure privacy and prevent tracking of search queries?

Uruky does not track or log search queries, emphasizing that users pay for the product, so they are not the product. While search index providers might track searches, Uruky ensures these cannot be linked back to the user or their account number.
