I've been looking for something like this, but as a desktop app that runs locally. So far I've only found two:

1. HistoryHound - https://www.stclairsoft.com/HistoryHound/index.html

2. BrowserParrot - https://www.browserparrot.com/ (sadly seems abandoned)

Wish I could find something like these but open-source. Both of them parse your browser history, fetch the pages, and build their own index. Would be a "safer" and more space/cpu-efficient alternative to apps like Windows Recall and Rewind.ai.

There's https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori?tab=readme-ov-file . It works on bookmarks and uses SQLite to enable full text search. It's also a CLI so I thibk you can write a script that parses your history file and loads it into this
You could try hamsterbase. All functions are offline and data is stored locally.

If you need to save all the pages you've seen, you can use singlefile, an open source plugin that works directly with hamsterbase.
