Promnesia

browser extension+other bits - project by karlicoss https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia Another piece of your extended mind

How does it work?

Promnesia consists of three parts:

browser extension
neatly displays the history and other information in a sidebar
handles highlights
provides search interface

However, browser addons can’t read access your filesystem, so to load the data we need a helper component:
server/backend: promnesia serve command

indexer: promnesia index command.
Indexer goes through the sources (specified in the config), processes raw data and extracts URLs along with other useful information. Another important thing it’s doing is normalising URLs to establish equivalence and strip off garbage

The command will put a stub promnesia config in your user config directory, e.g. ~/.config/promnesia/config.py on Linux

it’s possibly different on OSX and Windows, see this if you’re not sure (~/Library/Preferences/<AppName>)
