Give your AI a real browser.
Your AI assistant keeps hitting “you're blocked” walls. Unblocked runs a small, real web browser on your own computer and hands it to Claude, Cursor, VS Code or Zed — so they read pages the way you see them.
No sign-up · No credit card · Windows, macOS & Linux
Unblocked is free because it shares a little spare bandwidth with the UnblockingAPI network while it runs. Public pages only, in its own isolated browser — never your personal browsing. Exactly what that means

Each one connects in a single click from inside the app. Connect as many as you use.
Claude
Claude Code and the Claude desktop app both get a real browser they can drive.
One click, or a bundled extensionCursor
Cursor's agent reads live docs and pages instead of guessing from memory.
One-click install linkVS Code
GitHub Copilot's agent mode gets pages that normally refuse automated tools.
One-click install linkZed
Zed's agent panel gains a fetch tool that runs a real browser locally.
We edit your settings for youThere's a local API too
While the app is open it serves a small HTTP API on your own machine — reachable only from your computer, never from the internet. Point a script at it and get fully rendered HTML back.
Your AI tools use the same thing through MCP at http://127.0.0.1:8484/mcp, which is what the one-click setup configures for you.
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8484/v1/html \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"url": "https://example.com", "wait_for": "stable"}'Returns the rendered HTML plus the final URL, page title and HTTP status.
You share a little traffic. That's the deal.
While Unblocked is running it also loads public web pages for the UnblockingAPI network, using spare bandwidth in the background. That shared capacity is what pays for the app — which is why there is no account, no subscription and no card. Here's exactly where the line is.
Its own browser, never yours
Unblocked runs an isolated, app-scoped browser with its own empty profile. It cannot see your personal browser, your files, your logins or your passwords.
Public pages only
It loads ordinary public web pages — the kind anyone can open. Downloads are blocked, permission requests are denied, and we don't record your browsing.
Spare bandwidth, in the background
It uses capacity you aren't using, on a second browser kept out of the way of your own. Quit it from the menu bar and the sharing stops immediately.
Prove it works in one prompt
Once you've connected a tool, paste this into its chat. Google normally turns robots away.

Questions
No. Download it, open it, click your AI tool. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to paste and no credit card. The paid UnblockingAPI plans are a separate, cloud-hosted product for production workloads.
It runs a real web browser on your computer and lets your AI assistant ask it for pages. Because the request comes from a genuine browser on a normal home connection, sites that block scripted tools generally load the way they would for you.

Yes — anyone can download and use it, on Windows, macOS or Linux. It's a normal desktop application built with Electron, not a browser extension or a command-line tool.
