Building a Better Web Takes a Village: Introducing Kagi Specials

Our curation of privacy-first projects worth knowing and supporting

Nothing excites us more than bringing together people who believe the web should respect its users and put their interests first. At a time where it feels like a daunting task to find such products and services, Kagi Specials is our way of making that search easier with a handpicked set of friendly companies who share our values and are working toward a healthier, more ethical web. As a Kagi user, you’ll enjoy special offers on these services while supporting businesses that align with these values.

The World’s Best Search Has the World’s Best Friends

At Kagi, we believe that privacy should be the default. That’s why we’ll be teaming up with companies who share our vision for a web without surveillance, data exploitation or ad manipulation through added visibility and discounted offers. We don’t view them as mere partners, these companies are all run by people who actually care about keeping your data safe while giving you real value. Who wouldn’t want friends like that?

What Makes Kagi Specials Different

Unlike typical programs that prioritize profit over principles, Kagi Specials highlights privacy-first products that offer quality services with transparent business practices.

A few times per year, we select a limited number of services that meet our core standards: no surveillance, no ads, no selling your data, and products designed with the user in mind. If you’re building a privacy-first service, or know a company that should be featured, we’d love to hear from you. Share details or nominate a project through this quick form.

Just to be clear: there’s no money changing hands here. We’ve partnered with these companies because we believe in what they’re doing, share similar values, and think our respective communities would naturally appreciate what each other has to offer.

Spotlight Feature - Ente

Ente is our very first Kagi Specials partner! It offers end-to-end encrypted photo and file storage, with keys that never leave your devices. Fully funded by a straightforward subscription, it has no ads and doesn’t mine your data. For users who value privacy, Ente is a perfect complement to Kagi, and Kagi members will get 25% off for the first 12 months. You can read more about this collaboration on Ente’s own blog as well.

The Future is User-First

When you choose products from Kagi Specials, you’re casting a vote for the internet you actually want: private, user-respecting and built with your best interests in mind. We’re grateful to Ente for also introducing Kagi to their community and helping users build a complete ecosystem of values-aligned products. The internet you deserve isn’t built by harvesting your data, it’s created when privacy-focused teams collaborate to put users first.
