Privacy, from the first click.
Open PATANYX and get straight to browsing. Ads and trackers are blocked from the start. Pages translate on your own computer. Your passwords stay in an encrypted file on your device. It's built in before you open a settings menu.
Ads and trackers? Already blocked. Free
Protection starts with your first window, using blocking rules built into PATANYX. No extension to install. No add-on store to trust. Want to browse with blocking off? One switch puts you in control.
One exception. No lasting permission. Free Windows
Some sites need a little room to work. Let one address through for one tab, and the exception disappears when that tab closes. A temporary fix stays temporary.
Fingerprint Divergence Free, permanently
Give sites less to recognize across sessions. On by default, Fingerprint Divergence varies canvas, audio, and element measurements while reporting a generic graphics vendor and renderer. Those readings stay consistent during your session and change when you restart PATANYX.
Share the page. Shed the tracking. Free
Right-click. Copy clean. PATANYX strips the redirect, removes 29 known tracking parameters and the entire "utm_" family, and puts the cleaned link on your clipboard. Ready to share, with less attached.
PATANYX Vault Free
Keep your passwords and private notes close -- in one encrypted file on your device. Your bookmarks are encrypted too. Beyond the Vault, Page Snapshot preserves a page as you saw it, and a built-in Private Tunnel gives you another way to browse.
Known threats. Updated defenses. Free
PATANYX's blocklist covers more than 770,000 known phishing and malicious hosts. Signed updates keep the list current, and every update's digital signature is verified before installation.
Read the web in 68 languages, on your own machine
PATANYX Translator is free and covers 68 languages. Pick one and the page changes where you are reading it, with "Show original" to put it back.
It runs on your own computer. What you were reading is not sent anywhere to be read back. A language downloads once, and after that it works with the plane in airplane mode.
Premium, for researchers and power users
More tabs. Less hunting. Premium
Find across tabs searches every tab you have open. Switch tab takes you straight to the one you meant. Ready to clear some space? Select a run of tabs and close, bookmark, or shelve them together.
Box it. Read it. Premium
See text you want to read? Drag a box around that part of the page and let Read Text capture what's inside. A small gesture that keeps you moving.
Catch what you didn't mean to share. Premium
Give your images a closer look before they leave your hands. Image Text Review checks seven categories of text worth catching before you share. Its companion, Text Capture, helps uncover text too faint to see.
Deep Recall. Find more in what you kept. Premium
Remember the words, but not the page? Search your saved pages by text captured inside their images. Deep Recall turns the pages you chose to keep into an archive you can find your way back through.
All on your device. All on your terms.
Premium is one payment for the term you choose -- from $5 for one month to $48 for one year. No account to create. No automatic renewal.
Your purchase supports PATANYX's ongoing development. The protections in the free tier stay free.

September 21 to October 5, 2026
From September 21 to October 5, PATANYX is running on digital screens in four towns and cities, in seven places. Find one, capture it, and three months of Premium is yours.
Photograph it or film it. Your own capture, not someone else's.
Post it and tag PATANYX or EdgeXene. Then send us the link whichever way suits you: message us on Facebook or LinkedIn, or email contact@edgexene.io if you want the quickest reply.
Once we verify it, your three months start.
One Premium token per person, for the first 100 entries. When we reach 100, we'll announce that the hunt is closed.
When to look
Weekdays only, in three windows a day: 8 to 9 in the morning, noon to 1, and the end of the afternoon. That last one is 4 to 5 on Monday and Friday, 5 to 6 Tuesday through Thursday. Local time at each screen.
Every screen rotates between advertisers, so PATANYX will not be up for the whole hour. Give it a few minutes.
