Personal Web Memory

About

Personal Web Memory is a privacy-first Chrome extension that helps you find pages you have already visited by searching the actual content you saw, not only page titles or URLs.

Have you ever thought, "Where did I see that article last week?" or "Which product page mentioned free shipping?" Personal Web Memory quietly saves readable page text locally on your device, then lets you search your own web history with natural phrases like "AI tools last week", "kitchen cabinets", "pricing shipping today", or "React documentation cache".

Unlike cloud-based history tools, Personal Web Memory keeps your saved page memory inside Chrome local storage. There is no external server, no account, and no remote AI API in this MVP. Your remembered pages stay on your device.

Key features:

Content-based local search for pages you visited
Natural-language style queries
Recent memory fallback when there is no exact match
Highlighted matching words and phrases in search snippets
Automatic page type detection for articles, shopping pages, documentation, videos, jobs, and general pages
Quick filters for 24 hours, week, month, articles, shopping, and docs
Clickable topic tags for faster discovery
"Why this surfaced" explanations for search results
Manual "Save this page now" button
Copy-link action for every result
Export and import your local memory as JSON
Local-first design with no required login
Best for:

Researchers and students who revisit many articles
Developers searching documentation they opened earlier
Shoppers comparing products across sites
Marketers, writers, and analysts collecting references
Anyone who remembers what a page said but not where it was
