How it works
We crawl
Our crawlers visit onion services day and night, read their pages and follow their links to find new ones.
We check
Probes check every address in a continuous loop and record when it answers. The status you see is measured, not claimed.
We filter
What we crawl is classified. Pages and services that carry illegal material are kept out of search and the directory.
You decide
Ratings, reviews and each site's own forum show you what other people found.
Features
A search engine for the onion network
Search crawled pages, listings, forum posts, comments and profiles from one box.
Realtime uptime monitoring
Every listing shows whether it answers right now and how reliably it has answered over time.
Verified addresses
Owners sign their addresses with their PGP key and we check every signature, so a Verified badge means the address belongs to the key's holder.
Reviews and reputation
Members rate and review sites. Votes build each reviewer's karma, so helpful voices count for more.
A forum for every site
Each listing has its own community space to ask questions, warn others and share news. Owners moderate it, and a public log shows every moderation step.
Analytics for owners
Owners who claim their listing see visits, search arrivals, traffic sources, backlinks and visitor journeys, and get a live status badge for their own site.
Follow what matters
Follow sites and members and get notified when something changes.
Suggestions for you
Pick your interests and your home page suggests sites you have not seen yet.
Readable by AI agents
Every public page has a plain Markdown version, plus llms.txt and ai.txt, so research tools read us cleanly.
A quick tour
Search
One box, five kinds of results.
A listing
Status now, its uptime score and its verified addresses.
Reviews
Ratings and votes from members.

Each site's own conversation.

Total anonymity and privacy
We do
- work fully in Tor Browser's Safest setting
- let you join with no email address (you keep a recovery phrase)
- offer two-factor sign-in
We never
- run scripts of our own
- load anything from other servers
- store visitors' IP addresses (visits are counted with a one-way hash)
- show ad trackers
Safe for research
We crawl and classify tens of thousands of pages every day and keep illegal material out of search and the directory. Researchers, journalists and activists can study the network here without walking into it.
A listing is never an endorsement. Read our Legal notice.

Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Searching, browsing and joining cost nothing.
Do I need an account?
Not to search or browse. You need one to review, post, follow sites or report content.
How do sites get listed?
Owners add them, and our crawlers discover new ones by following links.
How do you know a site is online?
Probes connect to it over Tor in a continuous loop and record whether it answered.
How can I tell a site's address is genuine?
Look for the Verified badge: the owner signed that address with their PGP key and we checked the signature.
How do I reach you?
Through a support ticket, or see Contact us.
