Show HN: EU-based and simpler Kagi alternative – Uruky

BrunoBernardino Monday, February 16, 2026

For the last couple of months I've been working with my wife on Uruky [1]. It's a EU-based and simpler Kagi [2] alternative (privacy-focused and ad-free search with domain boosting/exclusion rules).

We've been using it with friends and family with much success (and hashbangs like "!g", "!d", or "!e" work for any edge cases we haven't fixed/improved yet).

It's already using EU-based search providers with EU-based indexes like Mojeek and Marginalia. We're currently waiting for EUSP (the new Ecosia/Qwant-effort-related index) to provide us with an API key.

For the next 24h, new signups will have a free 24h trial (unlimited searches) — usually, because bots make things too hard and we don't want your personal data, there is no free trial period.

After that, if you're interested in trying it for a few days and are a human, reach out with your account number and I'll give you a couple of weeks for free.

You can see the main differences between Kagi and Uruky here [3], but one huge difference is that with Uruky, after being a paying customer for 12 months, you get a copy of the source code!

If you have any suggestions, comments, or recommendations, I'd love to hear it.

Thank you for your attention and kindness. I really appreciate it!
