History Lib
Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a niche app designed to store and preserve Safari browser history. ===== Why Develop This App ===== As an Apple user, I only use Safari as my browser. One day, in an effort to thoroughly clean up the junk in Safari browser, I decided to export all the history records of Safari and then delete all the data of Safari at once... OK, it's all taken care of perfectly. However... When I opened Safari again and tried to import the history, I was completely shocked by the result: The import function in macOS always loses some data, and the import function in iOS/iPadOS is even worse, only importing the records from the last month! This is unacceptable for me, who heavily uses the browser. I'm not someone who likes to take notes; instead, I simply browse through the browser history when needed. However, the Apple ecosystem has explicitly refused to import all of my records. I naturally couldn't change Apple, so I simply took matters into my own hands and created this app. ===== Functions and Features ===== β’ Import the Safari browser history and it doesn't matter how long it is. β’ Supports export in multiple formats, and can be easily transferred to other devices or browsers at will. β’ Support the encryption of the export in HistoryLibβs own format, providing an additional layer of protection for your privacy. β’ Data can be fully synchronized with iCloud automatically. For multiple Apple devices, only one modification is needed, and there is no need for manual import or export. β’ Supports completely offline operation. The complete code is all open source on GitHub. Your privacy will always be secure. ===== Suitable Scenarios ===== β’ Dislike the privacy protection of the existing browsers and cloud synchronization β’ Don't want others to see the history records, but don't want to delete them all directly β’ Have exported good history records locally, but there is no suitable tool to view them, and don't want to import them back into the browser β’ ...

Store Fix
Read full descriptionHide full description
Store Fix keeps App Store links on the storefront region you choose, so app pages open in the country or region you expect. Why this matters: in some storefront regions, such as China, an App Store URL that is not fixed to the local region code can fail to open the app's product page. Store Fix rewrites apps.apple.com links to your selected storefront, so regional App Store pages keep working. With the Safari extension enabled, Store Fix works when you click App Store links on web pages and when you paste or type an App Store URL directly into Safari. Use it to: - Keep App Store pages on one preferred region - Jump between storefronts from the Safari toolbar - Search a full storefront list by country, localized name, or region code - Keep common regions such as China, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and Canada close at hand - Optionally force App Store links to stay in Safari instead of opening the App Store app Store Fix is designed for people who compare apps across regions, use multiple Apple storefronts, or simply want App Store links to behave predictably.
