Gugal

A clean and lightweight web search app.
New in version 0.9
Gugal 0.9 - the long-awaited update.

This update brings many quality of life improvements and new useful features to the app, as well as a minor facelift. It also updates many things in Gugal's code as we head towards a stable release.

App:
- The app now notifies users if there is no internet connection.
- Now built for Android 15.
- The search page has been slightly updated to fit more content.
- The new backup and restore feature allows users to back up Gugal's data and optionally encrypt th
Gugal is a clean and lightweight web search app, with a modern, Material 3/You UI.

It supports 2 search engines - Google and searx/SearXNG. Developers are free to add more search engines.

To use Gugal with Google Search you need a CSE ID and API key. Instructions for obtaining both can be found in the app. To get these you have to have a Google account, therefore Google might still link searches to your account. If you want to use a search engine that respects your privacy more, use Gugal with a searx/SearXNG instance.
