March 6th, 2025 - Orion Embarks on Linux Journey & Kagi Doggo Art
Celebration #

Orion's Next Chapter: Linux Development Officially Launched

[1741289693]

We're thrilled to announce that development of Orion Browser for
Linux has officially started! Our team is working hard to bring the
same speed, privacy, and innovation that Mac users love to the Linux
platform.

This is an ambitious project that we expect will take approximately
one year to complete. Our target is to achieve feature parity with
the current macOS version by March 2026.

Want to stay updated on Orion for Linux?

13th Feb, 2025 - Redefining Privacy in Search #

Announcing Kagi Privacy Pass

[1739474964]

Kagi now supports Privacy Pass, an IETF-standardized protocol
ensuring your searches are technically unlinkable to your account.

Read all about why this matters and the details of implementation in
our announcement blog post!

Privacy Pass support is provided:

  * Natively for Orion browser users (macOS/iOS/iPadOS). On iOS, make
    sure to have version 1.3.17 and above (expected to roll out
    globally today) and update your macOS Orion to version 0.99.131.
  * Natively through Kagi App for Android (make sure to have version
    0.29, expected to roll out globally today)
  * Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome

A few important details:

  * Privacy Pass implementation is fully open-sourced for
    transparency and community collaboration
  * Kagi Privacy Pass is available for the Professional, Ultimate,
    Family, and Team plans.
  * Limitations:
      + It's not available for Trial/Starter plans
      + Privacy Pass mode disables account-specific features, like
        domain personalisaton (as we do not know which user is
        searching)
      + Privacy Pass mode is supported for Kagi Search in this
        initial phase, we will add support other services in the
        coming weeks. Check the blog post FAQ section for more
        details!

Kagi in the News

Orion tops Apple's App Store's list of superpowered internet browsers
"to seriously level up your web browsing"!

[1739474637]

And Android Police published an article about Kagi's new fair pricing
model: "This ethical search engine will return your subscription
money if you don't use it." The Verge also covered the news.

Feb 4th, 2025 - Introducing Fair Pricing #

Use it or keep it

[1738667431]

In months where you don't utilize any searches on your plan, we will
automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month.
This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively
covering your subsequent month's subscription at no additional cost.

We have implemented this for the simple reason of being kind to our
users. We understand some months you may forget to use Kagi or do not
need it, so when you do, you can rest assured that we haven't charged
you for that.

This change is effective immediately, no forms to fill, no requests
to make.

Kagi Translate evolves

your language.

[1738346584]

The settings panel lets you customize translations and add context
effortlessly.

[1738346590]

And the history panel keeps track of everything you've translated.
buttons are now grouped for easier navigation.

[1738346594]

content filters for more flexibility.
It's faster, smarter, and more intuitive.

titles in your search settings.

Assistant

We're working on exciting updates to the Assistant experience! The
model picker is now located in the top menu bar, making it easier to

Jan 9th, 2025 - Connect with the world with search result translation
#

Use Kagi Translate to translate search results

You can now use Kagi Translate to translate search results directly
from the search results page. An icon will appear if we detect that
the search result is in a language other than your interface language
(inspired by  #5809 @KamilKurde)

[1736458067]

Click the icon and we will open Kagi Translate to translate the
search result.

Ever since we launched Kagi Translate last month we've been getting
nothing but praise for the service. It exploded in use, especially in
Asia.

And we truly see the value of high quality, privacy respecting
translation. So we continued building upon it.

    Translate on the go or when navigating unfamiliar languages
  * We introduced romanization for non-Latin languages as well as
    pronounciation for all supported languages

    issues in any text or even web page !

Just prefix any URL with translate.kagi.com/proofread to proofread
any web page. Try it here on a random Kagi Small Web page.

New user onboarding experience

We've reintroduced our onboarding experience to help setting up Kagi
to your liking. I guess you already went though onboarding so it
won't matter as much to you, but it will to friends and family you
send our way.

[1736458866]

We also added some helpful tips to help maximise key features.

[1736458885]

New model and LLM privacy guide

With this release, we've introduced the Deepseek v3 model to the
Assistant. Alongside it, we've published a new privacy guide to
provide full transparency about the LLM providers used by the
Assistant and their data privacy policies. Check it out!

Dec 20, 2024 - Improved video search with personalization and
clickbait removal #

Smarter video search is here

We've redesigned video search to help you find exactly what you're
looking for. With one click, you can now see detailed channel
information - just like how we show website authority in regular
search.

Want to fine-tune your results? You can now:

  * View a channel's reputation at a glance
  * Adjust how often you see videos from specific creators
  * Make future searches more relevant to your interests

This update brings more context and control to help you discover
videos you'll love.

To fine-tune your channel lineup, navigate to Settings > Search >
Personalized Results. You can easily create or modify rules, just
like managing domains.
[1734725117]

This update empowers you to prioritise trusted sources and remove
unwanted content, improving the quality of your search results.

This was inspired by user suggestions on Kagifeedback.org,
specifically from submissions  #3936 @katana and  #4806 @tea

Take control of your video search experience

We've added new video controls that put you in charge. Now you can:

  * Replace misleading thumbnails with real video screenshots
  * Choose how titles appear (title case or lowercase)
  * Focus on content, not clickbait

These simple settings help you see what's actually in each video,
making it easier to find what matters. No more bait and switch - just
honest previews of the content you care about.

Find these controls in your search settings.

Example (click to enlarge):

Nov 19th, 2024 - Enhanced Image Search & Open Sourcing FastFeedParser
#

Image search becomes even better !

We're excited to roll out major upgrades to our image search. This
release includes:

  * Our image search became even better with the inclusion of two
    more sources: Yandex Image Search (widely recognized as one of
    best image search services) and Openverse (vast collection of
    openly licensed images). Kagi is doing the hard work so that you
    don't have to.

[1732048048]

  * Enhanced generative AI image detection and flagging (first
    version of which we launched last month)

[1729194595]

  * A revamped preview pane with included reverse image search
    functionality

[1732050443]

With this we believe we can say that Kagi has the most powerful image
search on the web.

FastFeedParser - high performance library for processing feeds

We open sourced FastFeedParser, a high performance RSS, Atom and RDF
parser in Python.

This library powers Kagi Small Web and a few other initiatives at
Kagi and is 10x-100x faster and more efficient at parsing feeds than
existing alternatives.

FastFeedParser joins over a dozen Kagi open-source software projects.

Kagi in the wild

Here is this week's featured social media mention:

Oct 24th, 2024 - Safer Video Search for Kids and Custom Assistant
Bangs #

Leveling up our infrastructure

This Sunday at 6am UTC, we're making a step forward on our production
infrastructure.

After years of faithful service, our original database server is
being replaced with significantly more powerful hardware.

Expected downtime: 10 minutes

Protecting young minds: Enhanced video safety for families

Your children deserve better than clickbait and shock value. We're
making it happen with advanced video controls.

Family account owners can now shape a safer, cleaner video experience
for family members:

Authentic thumbnails

  * Replace misleading clickbait with actual video screenshots
  * See what you're really getting before clicking
  * End the bait-and-switch

Clean video titles

  * Choose between title case or lowercase formatting
  * Create a consistent, distraction-free experience
  * Focus on content, not hype

Example (click to enlarge):

[1729800808]

To access these options, navigate to: Settings > Parental Controls
(section: Video Search Settings) or click here.

Why this matters

Recent research confirms a disturbing truth: children's video
searches frequently expose them to inappropriate content, violence,
and frightening images. We believe our children deserve better.
Kagi's new parental controls help parents better manage the video
content their children are exposed to, reducing the risk of exposure
to inappropriate content and creating a safer online experience for
them.

Help us protect more young minds - share your thoughts on making this
protection available more broadly to all plan types. In case you
wonder why we did not make this option enabled by default - video
thumbnails and titles serve as a marketing tools for content
creators, and changing them unilaterally would introduce us as a
biased intermediary on a matter that is still in the air. This could
have a negative impact for publishers and potentially conflict with
our mission to "humanize the web". It is a delicate issue, and this
is why we had propagated the control over this to the user level, as
with all personalization features in Kagi.

Custom Assistant Bangs

Launch your Custom Assistant instantly from anywhere with a Bang
shortcut. Simply set your preferred command and you're ready to go.

This seamless integration means your Assistant is always just a
keystroke away, whether you're researching, writing, or exploring new
ideas.

October 17th, 2024 - AI-generated image filter in search results #

Better image search with AI-generated images detection

Last week we got quite clear and direct feedback that we need to do
something about AI-generated images that started creeping up in the
image search.

You asked for it and we delivered!

We are enhancing our image search with a new ranking algorithm and an
AI image filter. These updates prioritise authentic, human-created
images and downrank AI-generated content. Users can also opt to
exclude AI-generated images entirely.

Learn more about Kagi's AI image filter here: https://help.kagi.com/

than seeing the incredible photos our members are sharing online of
their Kagi swag! Whether you've posted a picture of your free t-shirt
or a sticker proudly displayed on your laptop, we want to take a
moment to say thank you. Your support means the world to us.

The story:

We were thrilled to celebrate our first big milestone: reaching
20,000 loyal members who've stuck with us through this adventure. To
show our appreciation, we've sent out free t-shirts and sticker packs
to those first 20,000 supporters. Earlier this month, these members
started receiving their packages and excitedly shared photos across
various socials. Here's a snapshot of just a few:

[1729193189]

For anyone who missed out, don't worry! You can head over to the Kagi
Store and snag your first-edition Doggo t-shirt. We've got four
fantastic designs, each one representing our determination to build a
better, more ethical and more human web.

Help us reach our next milestone: 50,000 members

As we gear up to reach 50,000 members, we'd love your help in

on word-of-mouth marketing and community recommendations. This
grassroots approach means that every conversation you have about
Kagi, every post you share showcasing your swag, and every mention
you make to friends and family has a real impact. Your enthusiasm
helps us reach new members who share our vision for a better web.
Let's make our next milestone one to remember.

October 11th, 2024 - Fresh from Barcelona: Android App, New Snaps
Operator, Assistant Updates and More! #

Hello, Kagi Fans!

We know it's been a few weeks since our last update, and there's a
good reason for that. The entire company took a break from the usual
routine to fly to Barcelona, Spain, for our annual retreat - a chance
to reenergize and refocus for the exciting journey ahead.

[1728090499]

But don't worry, it wasn't all fun and no work. In fact, we've got a
pretty exciting update for you today. The retreat gave us fresh
inspiration, and we're ready to bring some of those new ideas to life
starting right now.

Launching the official Kagi Android app

We're delighted to announce the launch of the official Kagi Android
app! This marks an important milestone in our mission to make Kagi
Search more accessible and encourage more people to try it out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kagi.search

The app allows users to begin using Kagi Search immediately right
from the first launch (no account needed!). For those with existing
subscriptions, signing in is seamless, enabling access to all Kagi
features.

Additionally, the app includes native homescreen widgets, providing
one-click access to search directly from your homescreen.

[1728592468]

If you use an Android device, go check it out! We've simplified the
process of sharing Kagi with your network.

Additionally, a recent EU ruling presents a significant opportunity
for Kagi. Google is now required to include any search engine that
meets specific criteria, such as having an app with over 5,000
installs, in the default list for Android and Chrome -- install the
app today and help us meet the criteria!

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!

Introducing Snaps

Snaps are an innovative search operator that allows for site-specific
searches directly from the search bar. By simply typing @ followed by
the designated site bang, you can limit your search results to a
specific website. For example, to search on Reddit or HackerNews, you
can enter:

  * @r winter boots which translates to winter boots
    site:www.reddit.com
  * and @hn vim emacs to vim emacs site:news.ycombinator.com

This feature was made possible thanks to the contribution of our user
@tuesday (  #1231) on Kagifeedback!

This will work with any bang that Kagi support, including custom
bangs you define. Kagi Bangs are open source, we welcome your
contributions!

Universal Summarizer for Chrome

Universal Summarizer is one of the most-loved Kagi treats. The
extension is now available for Chrome - Download it here!

We had to split it out of Kagi Search extension for Chrome due to
rules of the Chrome store. Kagi Universal Summarizer is available to
Firefox users via Kagi Search for Firefox and is natively built into
the Orion browser.

The Assistant - 30 day update

It's been 30 days since we launched the Assistant, and we're excited
to share a range of new updates with you.

Upload functionality:
We're excited to announce that you can now upload a variety of local
files directly to the Assistant! This new feature allows you to add
multiple files in a single prompt. Here's a list of supported file
types:

  * Text files: .txt, .md
  * Rich text documents: .pdf, .docx, .pptx
  * Tabular data files: .json, .csv, .xlsx, ...
  * Images: .jpeg, .png, .webp, ...
  * Audio files: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, ...
    [1728670037]

Additionally, you can add a URL to have its contents summarised or to
pose questions about it.

[1728660555]

Stop button
We've introduced a Stop button that allows users to immediately halt
the Assistant's streaming output.
[1728393487]

there's even more on the way!

Sep 6th, 2024 - Kagi Store and video commercial launch #

Announcements

Kagi Store

Kagi Store is live! Grab your first edition Doggo t-shirt while the
stock lasts.

[1724682275]

Getting this out of the door was quite a journey. We wrote a small
blog post about it.

We moved mountains (of cotton) to deliver on our promise

The Assistant video commercial

 Drumroll, please... Our first video commercial celebrating the
launch of The Assistant is live, and we couldn't be more thrilled and
proud! Let us know what you think!

Check it out on YouTube!

Improvements and Bug Fixes (minor update post the Assistant launch)

  * You can now open the Kagi Search that the Assistant performed
    throughout all different thread responses.
  * Internet access is correctly set when the last used model is a
    Custom Assistant
  * When branching, earlier messages no longer disappear
  * Fixed an issue that disabled mouse scroll in the prompt box when
    large prompts were used
  * Fixed an issue where using Assistant bangs such as !code with
    another Custom Assistant present prevented the model selection
    from loading
  * While we finish implementing custom bangs for Custom Assistants,
    you can already create them manually by using the profile query
    parameter in the Assistant URL. For example: https://kagi.com/
    assistant?q=%s&profile=id
    You'll find the Custom Assistant id in the URL when editing your
    Custom Assistant

Sept 4th, 2024 - Announcing the Assistant #

The Assistant is here!

Today we're excited to unveil the Assistant, a new powerful tool for
information consumption that complements Kagi Search. Assistant
features direct access to world's best LLMs, grounded in Kagi Search,
all in one place and for one price.

contributors, for all the feedback and testing that helped us create

June 12th, 2024 - Introducing New Basemap Options and Enhanced
Filtering #

Features

Introducing the Kagi and OpenStreetMap Basemaps

We have updated our maps page to include two new basemap options: the
Kagi Basemap and the OpenStreetMap (OSM) Basemap. You can switch
between these options via the top left corner of the maps search bar.
[1718217498]

The search results remain consistent across both basemaps; however,
we are planning to introduce additional features and customisation
options soon!
The Kagi basemap focus on greater detail, readability, and
map-comprehension, using 3d landmarks, trees, shadows and improved
labeling. The OSM basemap will be optimized for speed and a
lightweight map search experience.
[1718217842]
Other improvements to Maps:

  * Kagi Maps Dark Mode  #3943 @alexjsteffen
  * Display phone number on Business Map Listing  #4151 @champs777

Enhanced domain blocking

We've contributed to the open-source uBlacklist extension, adding
support for Kagi Search. For users looking for more complex site
blocking patterns or to take advantage of existing repositories of
blocking rules, this one's for you! This update improves user
experience and underscores our commitment to community-driven
development (suggested in  #262 @pessoa)

searching!

Kagi Search for Safari update

If you are using Safari with iOS developer beta (17.5), Kagi Search
for Safari extension may have stopped working due to a bug introduced
in this iOS release last week. We have released a TestFlight version
of the new version that should work. We are planning to release it to
app store as soon as we get positive verification from users. It may
help long term if you took a second and sent feedback to Apple to
consider including Kagi as a search engine choice in Safari. Thank
you

Features

GPT-4o integrated in Kagi Assistant

We've benchmarked OpenAI's new flagship model GPT-4o, released
yesterday, and its performance on our internal independent tests (
PyLLMs and reasoning on Chess puzzles) as well as external is
impressive. As a result, GPT-4o has now been used across various
features in Assistant:

  * Default model for Research Expert mode and Code assistant

  * Used for interpreting and working with uploaded files, including
    images

  * Available through Chat Assistant

Note: Kagi Assistant is available as open beta for Ultimate plan
members

Recipe extraction/summarizer

Kagi Universal Summarizer now automatically identifies when you are
summarizing a recipe and conveniently displays both the ingredients
and the cooking steps  #3937 @leopoldarrestrom

You can use Kagi Summarizer as a standalone Web app, through Kagi
Search Extension in your browser or directly in search results.
[1715718631]

Additional notes for Family / Team account members

When setting up a Family or Team account, you now have the ability to
add names for each member. This feature is particularly useful for
managing team members who use email aliases  #2695 @Alligator

March 19th, 2024 - Introducing Sales Taxes #

Announcements

Starting from March 26th, we will begin including localized sales tax
for all new customers who subscribe on or after this date.

Starting from April 9th, all existing customers who qualify for sales
tax/VAT will see localized sales tax/VAT added to their monthly
invoice in USD, on top of their current subscription fee. This
adjustment will appear on your next invoice on or after April 9th,
with no immediate extra charge.

If you are paying with an alternative method via Paypal, OpenNode, or
any other non-Stripe provider: You will be prompted to pick a sales
tax region the next time you go to purchase credit.

If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to
contact our team through Discord or at support@kagi.com. We will be
building an F.A.Q. page to answer any questions about the migration
process.

To clarify, it means an end-price increase for affected members
(sales tax/VAT will be automatically added on top of Kagi price, if
applicable in your country/state) and this is mandated by Kagi
becoming large enough to have legal sales tax/VAT obligation. In
addition, Kagi will have to retroactively pay for all sales tax/VAT
that we did not collect in the last almost two years. We have chosen
to absorb this on behalf of our customers.
