Search the content you chose to index

Look beyond bookmarks and filenames. Hister indexes the full content of the pages and files you choose, then keeps that searchable knowledge on a server you control.

Search the actual content

Look beyond titles and URLs to the words inside every indexed document.

Narrow with precision

Use fields, phrases, wildcards, negation, priorities, and your own aliases.

Read it in context

Open a clean stored preview beside the results without losing your search.

A private memory without the busywork
