Free for everyone. 360 Search is a private, fully open-source search engine and digital workspace built for people who are tired of being tracked online. Instead of juggling 50+ browser tabs across different services, 360 brings everything you need — search, AI, news, weather, stocks, translation, games, and a full suite of productivity apps — into one clean, organized interface. No ads. No data profiling. No compromises. ## Why 360 Exists Most popular search engines build a detailed profile of you over time and sell that data to advertisers for targeted ads. Even DuckDuckGo has a deal with Microsoft that affects what results you see. 360 was created to offer a genuine alternative: a search engine that is fully private by design, open source so anyone can inspect what it does, and free for everyone to use. ## Key Features 360 is far more than a search bar.
