A browser extension that tracks your web navigation like Git history.
Every page visit becomes a node with timestamps, redirects, dwell time, and snapshots (visual + textual).
Rewind your browsing, branch into new flows, and export your history as structured datasets.
-
⏱️ Dwell-aware tracking
Only creates a node when you actually spend time on a page (default ≥10s). -
🔗 Full navigation graph
Records redirect chains, SPA route changes, reloads, back/forward as edges. -
🖼️ Snapshots
- Visual (JPEG viewport capture, 80% quality)
- Textual (HTML/DOM with scripts stripped, safe for viewing)
- Manual capture button always available
-
🧭 Git-like navigation
- Prev/Next buttons traverse node history
- Right-click menu: Open, Copy, View Snapshot, Download
-
🔒 Privacy & safety first
- No incognito snapshots (unless explicitly enabled)
- Ignore list support (skip sensitive domains)
- Snapshots sanitized + sandboxed in viewer
- Local-only storage (IndexedDB)
-
📦 Export / Import
- Export as JSON (visits + edges)
- Export as ZIP (JSON + HTML + JPEGs)
- Re-import datasets and browse them like live history
- (Future: optional Node.js backend for disk-based archival)
