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’ ...
