Your browser keeps the link. historoo keeps what was on the page.
Not the photo, the video, the article or the trainers you saw. A week later you remember the thing, but not where you saw it. Search for the thing.

1 · The problem
Browser history doesn't save everything
It's a list of titles and links. Search it for what you actually remember and it finds nothing.
| Find it by | Browser history | historoo |
|---|---|---|
| The page's title | Yes | Yes |
| Site or address, like “theguardian.com” | Yes | Yes |
| What's in a picture, like “cat” or “red car” | No | Yes |
| What was said in a video | No | Yes |
| A product and whether its price dropped | No | Yes |
| Text inside a picture, like a poster or a menu | No | With Pro |
| On all your computers | Links only, through your browser account | With Pro through your own Google Drive, encrypted |
2 · What it solves
“Where did I see that?”
You remember the picture, not the page. The story, not the site.
-
SunYou watch someone pour latte art on youtube.com.
-
FriYou remember the swirl in the cup. Not the channel, not the title.
-
SearchType “latte art”. The video is there, with where and when you saw it.
Pictures
Understood by what's in them. “Cat” finds cats even when the page never used the word.
Videos
The thumbnail, title and captions, so “latte art” finds the video you half remember.
Headlines
Page titles and the main headings you read, for when you remember the story but not the site.
Products
Name, picture and price from shops you browsed, and whether the price dropped. Try “trainers under £60”.
It keeps what you looked at, not every ad on the page. Only things that were on your screen for a second or more, plus every page you visit, by title and address.
Try it on someone else's history
Two weeks of a made-up person's browsing. Hover a tile to see where and when they saw it. Click to open the page.
