WebTM

Web Time Machine quietly remembers the readable text of every page you visit and makes your history actually useful. • Full-text search — find a page by something it said, not just its title or URL. • One-line AI summaries — skim what each page was about. • Synced across your devices — capture on iPhone and your Mac/PC, search anywhere. • Private to your account — your history syncs to your own space, never sold. • Auto-expiring — history rolls off on a retention schedule; delete anything instantly, and deletions propagate everywhere. Capture runs in a Safari Web Extension and is fully passive — it never changes the pages you browse, and nothing is recorded until you turn it on and sign in.
