Kagi App

You can use Kagi on your phone or tablet with the Kagi App.

Android

The Kagi app is currently available for Android. Download it from the Google Play Store. You can watch a setup video here.

• Add Kagi search widgets to your homescreen for quick access.
• Use the app directly to search with Kagi on your device.
• Privacy Pass is supported in the Android app. For setup instructions, see the Getting Started with Privacy Pass page.

Pixel Launcher (Advanced)

If you are using the Pixel Launcher, you can replace the default Google Search widget with the Kagi Search widget, even though Kagi is not currently offered in Google's list of supported search providers.

Note
This method is intended for advanced users. It requires enabling Developer Options and USB debugging, and using Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

1. Install the Kagi app.
2. Connect your device to a computer with ADB installed.
3. Run:

adb shell settings put secure selected_search_engine com.kagi.search

The default Google Search widget will be replaced with the Kagi Search widget.

To restore the default Google Search widget, choose Google as the default search engine in the Pixel Launcher settings. Alternatively, you can run:

adb shell settings put secure selected_search_engine com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Note
This workaround relies on an undocumented Android system setting and may stop working in future Android releases.

iPhone

An iOS app is not yet available. Once released, it will include support for homescreen widgets and direct search. Updates will be posted here when the app is available.

Custom Use

If you want to manually set Kagi as a default search engine, use these settings:

• Kagi Search URL https://kagi.com/search?q=%s

• Kagi auto suggestions URL https://kagi.com/api/autosuggest?q=%s

• Kagi auto suggestions URL (Privacy Pass) https://kagisuggest.com/api/autosuggest?q=%s

• Reverse image search URL https://kagi.com/reverse/upload.

  • For image search to work, you have to pass the image you are trying to reverse-search in a file POST parameter. For example, in Vivaldi to achieve this you have to set "POST parameters of image search" to file={google:imageThumbnail}
