Browser history backup and visualization tool

About

• Command-line tool that backs up browsing history from multiple browsers into a single file and visualizes it
• Visualization dashboard: view daily page views, top 10 titles, top 10 domains, etc. as graphs and tables
• CSV export support
• Works fully offline, so history is managed only on your own PC with no server upload
• Duplicate-free design: schema optimized so that repeated backups do not create duplicates
• Supports Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Runs on macOS/Linux/Windows
• Single Rust-based binary

Usage

• Basic commands
  • onehistory backup: back up browser history to the DB
  • onehistory serve: start an HTTP server and browse history in the browser (http://127.0.0.1:9960)
  • onehistory export: export to CSV
  • onehistory show: show the paths of browser history files installed on the system
• Backup options
  • -d: required when the browser is running (disables auto-detection)
  • -f: specify a particular history file (e.g., Chrome → History, Firefox → places.sqlite, Safari → History.db)
  • -D: run in dry-run mode
