Home, with a place to pick up where you left off and today's timeline
Overview
Replaces Chrome's history page with one you can actually search, grouped by day, browsing session, and website. Your history stays on your computer.
Browser Memory replaces Chrome's history page with one that makes things easier to find. Instead of one long list of links, your history is grouped by day, by browsing session, and by website. You can also star pages, add notes, and save pages into collections.
A new session starts whenever you take a break, and each one gets a title based on the sites in it, like "Development research". There's no server, account, cloud sync, or AI involved, and your history never leaves your computer.
What you can do
- See every page you visited, grouped by day, with a date filter
- Browse by session, with each sitting titled after the sites in it
- See every website you visited, ranked by activity, and reopen all its pages at once
- Search across page titles, links, websites, and your notes
- Star pages to find them again quickly
- Add a note to any page in your history
- Group related pages into your own collections
- Export sessions, collections, or search results as CSV or JSON

Privacy
Browser Memory runs entirely on your computer. There's no server, account, cloud sync, or AI service, and your history never leaves your device. Favorites, notes, collections, and settings are stored in your browser's local database and are never synced.
