खोजWhat we are building
A browser that treats Nepali as a first language, not a font fallback. These are the plans for the first release.
Devanagari done properly
Conjuncts, matras and half forms shape correctly in the address bar, tabs and forms. Romanised typing turns into Nepali as you write.
Spaces
Keep work, study and home in their own sets of tabs, and move between them in one swipe.
Tabs in a sidebar
Long titles stay readable down the side instead of shrinking to icons across the top.
Light on data
A saver mode for mobile data packs: images on request, video paused until you ask.

One browser, five platforms
A shared core written in Rust carries your spaces, tabs and settings. Each platform wraps it in its own app. None of these are released yet.

What Khoj stands for
Three commitments we will hold the first release to.
- Free and open source Every line public, so anyone can check what the browser does.
- Made in Nepal Built by Swadesh Nai Swarga for the language, connections and devices people here actually use.
- Private by default No tracking of what you browse. Sync, when it comes, is encrypted on your device.
