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.
Key Features
- Privacy-focused: Keep your browsing history indexed locally – don’t use remote search engines if it isn’t necessary.
- 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.

Such a power-user-friendly app. It can also import Obsidian vaults and programming documentation for example, so you have essentially greppable-esque functionality, but w/ an automatic split-screen that shows you the page w/o you having to manually navigate
Good point. The ability to import Obsidian vaults and programming documentation broadens its usefulness beyond browser history. The split-screen preview is a particularly nice touch too. Thanks for highlighting that.
