About Hunchr
Shopping that puts privacy and community first.
Redefining Online Shopping
At Hunchr, we believe online shopping is more than just transactions. It's about discovery, trust, and community. In a world where global e-commerce platforms dominate, we asked ourselves: how can shopping be made safer, more inclusive, and supportive of local creators, while still giving customers the seamless experience they expect?
That's the vision behind Hunchr. Based in Delaware, USA, Hunchr is a privacy-first, GDPR-focused shopping search engine designed to put people first. Our mission is to create a shopping space where users feel safe, where brands, big and small can be discovered fairly, and where communities thrive through visibility and support.
Unlike traditional platforms, we are not here to compete with giants like Google, Bing, or Amazon. Instead, we aim to work within the existing ecosystem, bringing a new perspective to online shopping. By integrating with APIs from the best e-commerce feeds, we provide curated shopping results and custom placements block cards, tiles, popular searches, and category splits that make product discovery intuitive, inspiring, and transparent.

Local Meets Global
Hunchr is built on the belief that independent and local brands deserve the same visibility as multinational corporations. While large retailers dominate global platforms, smaller brands often struggle to be seen. We want to change that.
Our in-house team works relentlessly to create content inspired by trends, culture, and fashion, spotlighting local brands, artists, creators, manufacturers, and retailers. By doing so, we're not just helping people shop. We're telling stories, celebrating creativity, and giving communities a platform to thrive.
Why Hunchr Exists
We see shopping as more than convenience. It's about making informed, safe choices. It's about discovering new voices and supporting the people behind the products. It's about creating a level playing field, where a local artisan's work can stand proudly alongside a multinational brand.
At Hunchr, our vision is to make shopping a safe space:
A space where privacy comes first.
A space where local indie products stand shoulder-to-shoulder with global brands.
A space where technology works for people, not the other way around.
Looking Ahead: The Future is Bright
We're just getting started. The future of shopping should be inclusive, transparent, and community-driven – and that's what we're building at Hunchr.
We are more than a search engine. We are a movement to redefine how people shop, discover, and connect with products and brands. With every search, every discovery, and every connection, we're working to make online shopping more human.
🌟 Shopping that sparks joy, builds communities, and celebrates creativity 🌟
Because at the heart of Hunchr is a simple idea: shopping should bring people closer to products, to brands, and to each other – and build a community.
