Plant trees as you browse. Over 250 million trees planted
By Hafiz Rahman
Editor, tools and utilities
Ecosia: Search to plant trees is a web search app. It works like other search engines, with ads alongside results, but the developer says it directs all of its profits to climate action and tree planting projects. It is aimed at people who already search the web every day and would like that activity to support environmental work.
Nothing about the app asks for a separate habit. You search, and the funding happens in the background of the same searches you would make anyway.
The build we hold is Ecosia: Search to plant trees 152.0.7977.82.51 (APKS split bundle) for Android 10 and up.

The app runs ads next to search results, and the developer says the ad revenue is used to fund climate projects rather than kept as profit. The listing states that 100% of profits go to this purpose. It also says more than 250 million trees have been planted across 35+ countries through the project.
Because the money comes from ads, the search experience includes them, in the same way as mainstream search engines.
The developer says the app collects only the data needed to deliver search results. It also says searches are always encrypted. The listing presents this as a reason to choose the app over others, but the specifics of what is collected are only described in these general terms.
The listing's wording is that the company wants trees rather than user data, which is the developer's own framing of the data policy.
The developer notes that running searches uses electricity. To address this, the company says it invests in renewable energy projects, with the stated aim of phasing fossil fuels out of the electricity grid.
This is a company investment rather than a feature inside the app, so the user does not configure anything to take part.
Ecosia describes itself as a not-for-profit, steward-owned company. It publishes monthly financial reports that show which organisations received funding, so users can see where the money went.
The reports are the main way the listing says the funding is checked, and they are published by the company rather than by the app.
