About HistSieve
HistSieve helps you keep browser history tidy with local cleanup rules.
Add keywords such as domains, topics, or words you do not want to keep in history. When a visited URL or page title matches an active keyword, HistSieve removes that history entry from Chrome. You can also run cleanup manually, on a schedule, or when Chrome starts.
Core features:
- Keyword-based cleanup for URLs and page titles
- Scheduled cleanup by interval
- Startup cleanup
- Manual cleanup from the popup or settings page
- Cleanup scope controls: all history or entries older than a chosen number of days
- Keyword import and export
- English and Simplified Chinese UI
Privacy-first design:
- No account
- No remote server
- No analytics
- No ads
- No sale or transfer of user data
HistSieve stores settings locally in Chrome extension storage and uses browser history only to provide the cleanup features configured by the user.
