Web Time Machine quietly remembers the readable text of every page you visit and makes your history actually useful. β€’ Full-text search β€” find a page by something it said, not just its title or URL. β€’ One-line AI summaries β€” skim what each page was about. β€’ Synced across your devices β€” capture on iPhone and your Mac/PC, search anywhere. β€’ Private to your account β€” your history syncs to your own space, never sold. β€’ Auto-expiring β€” 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 β€” it never changes the pages you browse, and nothing is recorded until you turn it on and sign in.

About

Foretap

Read full description

Foretap is a free, private app-discovery surface on iPhone. Apps are organized into named sections β€” Pinned, Work, Travel, Reading β€” that stack vertically on a single screen. Each section has its own sourcing logic: manual lists, recently used, frequently used, time-of-day windows, or Focus-mode bindings. Sections rise to the top automatically when their context applies. Three home-screen widgets, App Intents, Shortcuts, and Siri integration are included. No subscriptions. No advertising. No tracking.
