That's really good stuff! I just had a regular shortcut to kagi website on my home, which looked a little ugly, but was functional, but now I can have the search bar, just like Google's, thanks for the tip

Would it be possible for the app to synchronize custom bangs too? (or maybe it already does that?)

dps

johen bangs are stored with your account, so they would be on the apps.

johen

dps Yeah! sorry for not checking earlier, it works as expected!

That "coming soon" tag is one of the best pieces of news I've received today 😃

Can anyone from the Kagi team confirm if the plan is to apply to Google's DMA Search Choice Screen, so we can get this as a search option in Pixel phones in Europe? I assume it may not be possible to apply before the app is actually published in the Play Store, but I'd be eager to know what your plans are.

Thanks!

VMX Yes, we definitely want to apply to Google's DMA Search Choice Screen. But we'll need 5000 app installs to be eligible. Please install and share it with your network and help us meet that criteria 🙂

FYI - we'll announce the official release of the Kagi Android app with our changelog today.

Thibaultmol this is planned

Vlad The possibility to access assistant in a different way, google assistant like with a widget,why not.
An independent browser, like Orion; that's because on Android we have not a browser built for Kagi.We only have the possibility to use this amazing search engine!

kg4maz

I hope that a day we will have Orion browser on Android too,an assistant which can let us ask with voice any prompt.
Please, Kagi team💪

I personally would also like a 1x1 widget that just starts the assistant maybe even with voice recog immediately (something that could be set in the settings)

Little feedback on the app:
The login fields doesn't prompt for password managers:

silvenga

Kuinox I did notice that too! One problem was that the origin was detected as null, which my password manager didn't like (that's really uncommon).

Luis

Kuinox silvenga we're looking into this

Kuinox Hey, it'd be great help if you share your password manager. Google's password manager seem to work but my Bitwarden doesn't show up. I'm already looking into the issue why Bitwarden is not showing up, and it'd be great to know if another one is also not working.

kadir

silvenga I'm the android engineer looking into this issue and I'd love to get more insights. WDYM by the origin? Is it showing up as null when the password manager is saving the credentials or is it something else?

jaranflaath

Love the new app! Would be great if the keyboard was open when the search window open from the widget. See screen recording here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GqezzSEnjQEKjh7W9

Have to click the field to open the keyboard.

In the European Union, users can choose their search engine on the Pixel Launcher (Google Pixel phone) and use something else than Google.

We can choose in a list of installed search engines, however Kagi is not listed here even if the Kagi Android app is installed.

See: https://www.android.com/choicescreen/dma/searchengine/

The Kagi app is installed
On the Pixel Launcher, long press the search bar, settings
Kagi should appear in the list of search engines

kadir I don't recall, but I believe my password manager (https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android) refused to automatically attempt to fill because it detected the origin as null (an origin I've never seen before).

For example, for logins that are just a web page, the origin is the domain of the web page. For apps that do native logins, the origin is the app id.

That said, I can't reproduce with the latest release of my password manager/kagi - so maybe something was fixed on one of the sides?
