About Backscroll: History & Bookmark Search

Backscroll is history search for the pages you actually read. Chrome's built in history only matches page titles and URLs. So when you try to find that article you read last week and all you remember is what it said, you scroll, and scroll, and give up. Bookmarks are not much better. You save a page, it sinks into a folder, and the folder becomes a graveyard. Backscroll fixes both. When you spend real time reading a page, it quietly keeps a private copy of the content on your device. Later, you search your browsing history and bookmarks by whatever you remember: a phrase from the page, a topic, a half remembered idea. The page comes back in about a second. WHAT IT DOES Searches what you read, not just titles and URLs. Bookmark search built in, from the same box. Captures reading, not noise. Pages you bounce off in two seconds never enter your index. Understands meaning. A small language model bundled inside ranks by meaning and keyword, so close is good enough. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Capturing, indexing, and searching make zero network calls. No server sees your pages, because there is no server. Incognito is never captured, and you can exclude any site. Verify it yourself: open devtools network tab and search. Requests sent: zero. The only network use is billing through Stripe, which sees your email and card, never anything you read. HONEST LIMITS Backscroll indexes pages you read after you install it. It cannot search pages you visited before. It searches your reading and bookmarks. It does not manage tabs, delete history, or sync between computers. PRICING Your first 30 pages are free, no account and no card. After that it is $2 a month, $20 a year, or $99.99 once for lifetime. If you stop paying, your index is kept intact and searching unlocks whenever you return. WHO IT IS FOR Researchers keeping track of sources. Developers hunting a doc they saw last month. Students who need study material back. Anyone who thinks "I read this somewhere" more than once a week.
