Browsing History Skill
Query browsing history from all synced devices with natural language.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Articles/pages they read (yesterday, last week, etc.)
- Browsing history from specific devices (iPhone, iPad, desktop)
- Finding pages by topic, domain, or keyword
- Exporting browsing history to files
- Grouping history by category or domain
Database
Location: ~/data/browsing.db
Synced devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, desktop, Android
Timestamps
- visit_time: Actual visit timestamp from Chrome (100% coverage for all devices)
- first_seen: Import timestamp (fallback when visit_time unavailable)
The skill uses COALESCE(visit_time, first_seen) for accurate time-based queries.

yesterday | Previous day |
today | Current day |
last week | Past 7 days |
last month | Past 30 days |
last N days | Past N days |
Keywords are searched in URL and title.
