## What is Pelorus?

Most search apps give you one engine's answer. Pelorus asks several at once and shows you what they all found.

Run a search across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Wikipedia, arXiv, and more. Unified Search merges the results into one ranked list, putting the pages several independent engines found above the ones only a single engine returned. When you want a closer look, every engine's own results are one swipe away.

Nothing is saved. No account. No history. No sync of what you searched. Tap the trash and your research session is gone.

— Search any combination of 14 web, specialized, and technical search engines, or add your own custom engines
— Unified Search consolidates results, transparently ranks by how much engines agree, and allows you to filter for what they don't agree on
— Key Insights shows you which engines agreed, what only one of them found, which kinds of sites dominated, and more
— AI summaries with formal citations in Chicago, APA, or MLA, using Apple Intelligence on your device or your own API key for most LLM providers
— Private browser with tracker blocking, fingerprint randomization, Face ID lock, and optional persistent login allowance lists
— Bang shortcuts, saved presets, and Siri Shortcuts
— Fine-tune consolidated ranking yourself: weight any engine from a quarter to double; boost, bury, or block any site; and see how many results each rule hid
— Gorgeous Reader mode with naturally realistic voices, custom pacing and rendering, and background playback
— Page summaries, reading lists, and exports to Markdown, PDF, or text
— Send results straight to Bear, Obsidian, or DEVONthink, or share to Joplin, Apple Notes, or any app
— Bring your own API keys for search services and AI providers — each stays in the device Keychain and goes nowhere but the provider you gave it to
