A better history manager for Chrome
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, TraceMind can also search across languages when you opt in to the multilingual embedding model in Settings. New and existing users start on the fast English model; choosing Multilingual MiniLM L12 lets a query in one language find pages you read in another.
Find the last site you visited, or jump to any date
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.
