Your website's shield against AI bots.
Anubis is a friendly web shield that keeps AI crawlers and scraper bots out of your website. When a real person visits, their browser solves a quick puzzle in the background — they barely notice a thing. But bots and scrapers can't get past it. It's like a bouncer for your site that only lets humans in.
What makes Anubis worth launching.
Blocks the bots that AI companies use to scrape your content, even when they ignore robots.txt and lie about who they are.
Your visitors barely notice anything — their browser solves a quick puzzle in the background while a cute mascot gives them a thumbs up.
Anubis starts protecting your site immediately with smart defaults that catch nearly all scraper bots without any configuration needed.
Choose which bots to block, which to allow, and which to challenge — you're in control of who gets through.
Used by GNOME, WineHQ, FFmpeg, and hundreds of other websites and communities to protect their content from scraping.
Anubis is designed to be efficient, so it protects your site without slowing things down for your actual visitors.
If you fit one of these, Anubis is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Anubis makes a real difference.
Stop AI companies from copying your articles and republishing them elsewhere — your original content stays yours.
Keep scraper bots from flooding your forums with repeated page requests that slow everything down for real members.
Prevent AI training crawlers from downloading your entire docs site thousands of times, which can crash smaller websites.
Block bots from scraping your artwork, writing, or photography to feed into AI training datasets without your permission.
Anubis is a smart web protector that blocks unwanted AI crawlers and scraper bots from accessing your website. Named after the Egyptian god who weighs souls, Anubis weighs each visitor by asking their browser to solve a quick puzzle. Real visitors pass through in seconds while a cheerful jackal mascot gives them a thumbs up. Bots and data scrapers, on the other hand, get stopped cold. It was originally created to save a small Git server from being crushed by AI companies ignoring robots.txt rules, and it worked so well that major projects like GNOME, FFmpeg, and WineHQ now use it too. Think of Anubis as a polite but firm doorman for your site — humans welcome, bots turned away.
Anubis is the go-to choice for anyone who wants to keep AI scrapers and bots off their website without making life harder for real visitors. Unlike traditional approaches that either do nothing (like robots.txt, which bots ignore) or annoy real users (like CAPTCHAs), Anubis uses a clever puzzle that browsers solve automatically. Your visitors see a cute jackal mascot for a moment and then they're in. It's already protecting major projects like GNOME, FFmpeg, and WineHQ — communities that can't afford to have their sites taken down by aggressive crawlers. If you have a blog, forum, or any website with content you don't want scraped, Anubis has your back.
