Pinbot — Private History Search for Chrome
Pinbot is a Chrome extension that helps you quickly locate items in your browsing history using on-device artificial intelligence. It’s built to return relevant results even when your search terms aren’t exact matches, and it focuses on protecting your data by keeping everything local to your machine.
How the search works
- Uses AI to interpret fuzzy or partial queries and surface the most relevant history entries.
- Lets you narrow results with filters such as URL, date ranges, or a combination of both.
- Performs all processing on your computer rather than sending history to remote servers, so searches run offline.
Privacy-first design
Pinbot’s architecture is intentionally local: your browsing records and search logic remain on your device, not in the cloud. This approach reduces exposure of personal data and gives you control over your information.
Notable capabilities
- Dark theme for a more comfortable viewing option in low light.
- Offline operation so searches work without an internet connection.
- Flexible matching that handles imprecise phrasing or incomplete terms.
- Filter controls to restrict results by site, date, or both simultaneously.
- Planned updates and improvements to expand functionality over time.
Creator and community
The extension was created by Kamil, who intends Pinbot to make AI-powered tools accessible while respecting user privacy. Users can join the Pinbot Discord to report bugs, suggest features, and participate in development discussions.
