nternetSearch is a different kind of search engine: no crawler, no server index, no list of blue links. The Apple Intelligence model on your device authors the results page itself — glanceable cards, ranked and decisive, with honest confidence on every card. Requires an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iOS 26+, Apple Intelligence turned on). DECISIVE, NOT TEN LINKS • One authored page, best answer first — never "here are ten links, good luck" • If one answer would change your results, it asks you first: one question, tappable answers SIX KINDS OF ANSWERS • Instant facts, numbered steps, comparisons with score bars, opinion landscapes, evidence-weighed verdicts, and "what you actually need" • Every card wears its type — scan the page in seconds SEE IT SIX WAYS — THE KALEIDOSCOPE • Open-ended question? Six thinking styles — first principles, inversion, analogy, systems, lateral, black hat — each answers in the same visual grammar, side by side • Pick the most interesting one and the six rooms re-think around it YOURS, PRIVATELY • Works in airplane mode — authoring happens on your device • Photo search reads the photo on-device; the picture never leaves • Your past searches annotate new results — on this device only • No account. No ads. No tracking. No data selling. Ever.

Kixa is a zero-knowledge, private-by-default browser for people who refuse to be tracked. No accounts. No profiling. No silent compromises. Highlights No accounts, no history Browsing sessions are ephemeral by design. Nothing is persisted, synced, or tied to you. Private search, protected backend Search requests flow through our secured infrastructure. SearXNG is never exposed, and secrets never reach the client. JavaScript off by default Enable scripts only when needed, per site and per session. Active Page Shield guards against script abuse, redirects, and form tampering. Sandboxed downloads Risky file types are blocked. Downloads are hashed, isolated, and opened through guarded previews or exports. Behavior-based tracker blocking Fingerprinting, cross-site storage abuse, and malicious domains are filtered before they reach your device. DNS-over-HTTPS + HTTPS-only Insecure protocols are blocked. Referrer and user-agent data are minimized automatically. Clean, neutral results No engine branding, no bias signals. Risky URLs are pre-cleaned before you ever open them. Zero telemetry No analytics SDKs. No cloud logging. No crash reports. Why Kixa is different Privacy isn’t a mode—it’s the default state. Protection runs quietly in the background, without clutter or fear-driven prompts. You stay in control, without exposing internals or trading safety for convenience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: InternetSearch at 3.4 against kixa's 3.0. InternetSearch also leads on ratings volume (306 vs 1). kixa's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
