Backup export & import (plain JSON) Plain JSON export and restore cover supported indexed history data. Offline-page snapshots are not exported, and embeddings rebuild after import. | ||
Automatic pre-update recovery backup Optional and off by default: after you enable Automatic Pre-Update Backup and grant Downloads permission, TraceMind attempts a local no-screenshot multipart recovery backup after Chrome reports an update, then intentionally reloads only after success. It tries to retain the two newest successful automatic backup sets; if Chrome no longer exposes an older download record, TraceMind cannot verify deletion and tells you to check Downloads. Encrypted profiles require a key already loaded when Chrome reports the update and never fall back to plaintext. No automatic backup or intentional reload occurs when disabled, permission is unavailable, encryption is locked at update time, or export fails. This is a recovery aid, not a guarantee against every data-loss event. | ||
Export encrypted backups AES-256-GCM encrypted export with custom passphrase | ||
Import encrypted backups Restore from encrypted backups with duplicate detection; importing never requires Pro | ||
Offline page viewer & saver Save HTML snapshots manually or automatically, with an image option and per-page size limit. They open in a sandboxed viewer; resource availability depends on what was captured. |

Most people who go looking for a history manager or a recent history browser extension want the same thing: to get a page back that Chrome's built-in history cannot find. A plain history manager only searches page titles and URLs, and it forgets everything after about 90 days. TraceMind is an AI-powered, improved history manager. TraceMind indexes supported pages it can access and capture. Excluded domains, unsupported browser pages, private browsing, and failed captures are not guaranteed. It can add screenshot previews when capture succeeds and lets you search captured history by meaning, even if you never bookmarked a page.
It is also a private history manager. Core capture, indexing, storage, search, screenshots, and analytics run locally on your device. Optional Pro Chat sends your question, prior turns in the current chat, and selected matching excerpts, titles, and URLs directly to the AI provider you choose with your own API key. TraceMind does not proxy or store those requests.And because search works by meaning, you can also search across languages. Choose Multilingual MiniLM L12 for local cross-language semantic search across 50+ languages, including Japanese. Unicode query text is preserved, and the local semantic index rebuilds after a model switch.
A common reason people reach for a history tool is simple: they want the last website they visited, or a site from a few days ago, and Chrome's list is hard to scan. In TraceMind's full-page view you can sort by most recent so the last site you visited sits at the top, and every result is timestamped, so recently accessed pages and the sites you visited over the last several days are easy to pick out.
You can also search your Chrome history by date or by time. Date chips in the popup scope results to Today, Yesterday, or Last week, the full-page view filters by Today, This Week, or This Month, and Pro adds a custom date range and an hour-of-day filter. Pair a date with a keyword and TraceMind searches captured readable page text, not just titles and URLs, so a page from a specific day can come back when you remember what it was about. New installations default to keep forever. You can choose a shorter retention window; saved pages are not auto-pruned. Browser storage capacity still applies.
