🥇 Why We're Better Than Every Other History Tool

Most browser history tools are:

  • Just text-only lists of URLs with no visual context
  • Limited to whatever your browser keeps for a few weeks
  • Cloud-synced to corporate servers without consent
  • Don't differentiate between meaningful and trivial visits
  • Bloated with trackers, ads, or telemetry
  • Impossible to export, search, or filter intelligently

🔐 How We Protect Your Browsing Data

  • 👁️All Snapshots Stay Local: Images and metadata live only in your browser sandbox.
  • 🧠No Telemetry: Zero analytics, zero tracking pixels, zero phone-home requests.
  • 🧩Domain Blocklist: Add sensitive sites (banking, email, work) to never be captured.
  • 🎛️Private Time Mode: One-click pause to stop capturing entirely.
  • 🚫No Third-Party Sharing: Your history is never sold, indexed, or transmitted.

💼 Why You Need This

  • Find that page you visited last week but can't remember the URL
  • Visually scan months of browsing instead of squinting at text URLs
  • Export your research history to back up or share with collaborators
  • Stay private — sensitive sites never get captured
  • Discover patterns in your own browsing with auto-categorization

🔍 Features With Descriptions

🔁

Automatic Snapshot Capture

Saves a visual snapshot of every fully loaded page so you can re-find it visually later, not just by URL.

🧠

Intelligent Change Detection

Avoids saving duplicate snapshots of the same page — only captures meaningful new content.

🔁

Side Panel Visual Timeline

Browse your entire history in a visual feed with thumbnails, titles, descriptions, and favicons.

🛑

Smart Storage Caps

Choose 100MB, 200MB, 400MB, or 800MB limits — old snapshots auto-rotate to stay within budget.

Instantly pause capture for browsing sessions you don't want recorded.

🎛️

Local-First Storage

⏱️

Smart Retention

🛑

Private Time & Blocklist

  • Stay in full control of what gets remembered
