Fully Open Source Community Search & Browsing
Angle Browser & Search Angel
Angle Browser is our zero-telemetry macOS browser with built-in tracker blocking, one-click Tor, Phantom Mode, and Search Angel set as the default engine. Search Angel is the privacy-first deep search layer behind it, with hybrid BM25 plus vector retrieval, evidence-based ranking, and self-hosted web expansion. Both projects are fully open to the community.
Search Angel keeps the discovery layer independent from Google and Bing while ranking results through hybrid lexical and vector retrieval.
Self-hosted SearXNG fans out across 70+ engines, then Search Angel re-scores sources by evidence quality, relevance, and credibility.
Angle Browser ships with tracker blocking, no telemetry, no hidden data exhaust, and one-click Tor routing for protected sessions.
These are fully open-source community projects. Code, release history, issues, and contribution paths stay public and inspectable.
How It Works
Two fully open-source community projects. One privacy-native workflow from search to session.
A query enters Search Angel, where privacy comes first and the retrieval path stays visible, inspectable, and controllable.
Hybrid BM25 plus vector scoring, evidence weighting, and source credibility checks turn raw search into ranked, explainable discovery.
Angle Browser opens the next step of the session with tracker blocking, Tor routing, and a hardened browsing shell built for privacy.
Because the stack is fully open source, repos, releases, issues, and architecture stay public and open to community scrutiny and contribution.
User query enters a privacy-first search layer with no profiling loop.
Self-hosted SearXNG expands across 70+ engines before results are normalized.
The search layer is designed so discovery happens without turning the user into the product.
Search Angel merges lexical precision with semantic retrieval to surface stronger results instead of raw link volume.

Angle Browser
A zero-telemetry macOS browser with tracker blocking, one-click Tor, Phantom Mode, Internet Map, and a public development surface open to the community.
Search Angel
Privacy-first deep search with hybrid retrieval, evidence-based ranking, self-hosted web-wide expansion, and a public codebase the community can inspect and extend.
Search Angel
Deep search built on FastAPI, PostgreSQL, pgvector, and OpenSearch.
The engine combines lexical retrieval, semantic search, and evidence-aware result scoring so privacy does not come at the cost of depth or relevance.
Angle Browser
Protected browsing with Tor, tracker blocking, and Phantom Mode baked in.
Instead of expecting users to bolt privacy on later, Angle Browser ships with the session controls, security visibility, and defaults that should already exist.
Community-open
Public code, public repos, public releases, and a contribution surface the community can actually use.
Claims about privacy and architecture stay grounded in code, issues, releases, and documentation instead of disappearing into a closed marketing layer.
Why It Matters
Privacy is treated as the product itself, not as a settings page hidden after launch.
Angle Browser and Search Angel were built around the same principle: the user should not be profiled, sold, or quietly observed in order to get useful technology. Search can stay deep, browsing can stay capable, and the underlying architecture can stay inspectable.
70+ Engines
Search Angel uses a self-hosted SearXNG layer to widen the search horizon before re-ranking results.
Zero Telemetry
Angle Browser is built around local control, tracker blocking, one-click Tor, and auto-clear session behavior.
Community-open
Code, issues, releases, and the roadmap remain public, so the community can verify, discuss, and improve the projects directly.
Fully Open Source
Use the live products, inspect the repos, and see projects that are fully open to the community.
Angle Browser and Search Angel are meant to be experienced, inspected, and contributed to. Open the live search engine, read the code, check the release trail, and see how the stack is actually built in public.
