Hister is a web history management tool that provides fast, content-based search for visited websites. Unlike traditional browser history that only searches URLs and titles, Hister indexes the full content of web pages you visit.
This is free and open source software.

- Full-text indexing: Search through the actual content of web pages you’ve visited.
- Advanced search capabilities: Utilize a powerful query language for precise results.
- Efficient retrieval: Use keyword aliases to quickly find content.
