Resurface (Contextual History Search)

About

Ever tried to find a page you visited but can't remember the exact title or URL? Resurface lets you search your browsing history the way you actually think — in plain English.

Just describe what you remember:
"the article about React hooks I read last week"
"gold ETF comparison I saw on some finance site"
"Disease i was looking for yesterday and relevant medicines"

HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────────
As you browse, Resurface quietly reads and indexes every page you visit — title, content, and meaning. When you search, it uses on-device AI to understand what you're looking for, not just match keywords. It combines semantic vector search with keyword matching to surface the most relevant pages from your history.

100% PRIVATE — YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE
──────────────────────────────
This is not a cloud service. Everything runs locally inside Chrome:

• Page content is stored in your browser's IndexedDB
• AI understanding uses Gemini Nano (Chrome's built-in on-device model)
• Embeddings are generated locally via Transformers.js
• No data is sent to any server — ever
• No account required, no sign-in, no tracking

Your browsing history is yours. Resurface never sees it.
