Hister

Web history on steroids

Hister is a web history management tool that provides blazing 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.

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
• Flexible content management: Configure blacklist and priority rules for better control
