Description
A privacy‑preserving extension for semantic browsing history Web Recall keeps a private, searchable memory of the pages you read. It captures visible text, embeds it locally via your own Ollama instance, and lets you rediscover information from a side panel without sending data anywhere else. Key features • Local-first capture - visible page text is stored in your browser’s IndexedDB; nothing leaves your machine. • Semantic search & Ask - find passages or ask questions with retrieval‑augmented answers that cite their sources. • Daily highlights - get a quick summary of what you read each day, with links back to the original pages. • Memory manager - browse, delete, backfill, or export/import your stored pages in bulk. • On-demand tools - optional “fetch more”, “get page summary”, and “search memory” helpers for the Ask flow. • Side-panel UX - keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Y) and context menu entries open the panel from any page. How it works 1. Install Ollama locally and pull the embedding/chat models you prefer. 2. Browse normally - the extension captures visible text after a short idle period. 3. Open the side panel to search, ask questions, review highlights, or manage stored pages. 4. Everything runs locally; the only network calls are to your own Ollama server at 127.0.0.1. Privacy & security • No browsing data is uploaded to remote services. • Embeddings and summaries are generated via your local Ollama instance. • Tools operate on pages already captured; optional fetches for “fetch_more” obey your allow/deny list. • Pause capture or whitelist/blacklist domains at any time. • Source code available on GitHub for inspection.
