History cleanup

Clean up your browsing history. Keep the pages you need.

Search pages, sign-in screens, duplicate links and sites you opened once pile up fast. Cleanup sorts them into 24 groups, shows you what’s inside each one, and deletes a group in two clicks.

How it works

  1. Open Cleanup

    History Monk checks your history and shows only the groups that have pages in them.

  2. Look inside a group

    Each group shows its pages. Untick any page you want to keep.

  3. Delete with two clicks

    Press Delete, then Confirm. Pages from protected sites are never in a group.

All 24 cleanup groups

Only groups with pages in them show up. A page can sit in more than one group.

  • Duplicate pages

    The same page saved under addresses that differ only by tracking tags or a #fragment.

  • Same page, different filters

    One page saved again for every sort order, view or filter you tried.

  • Page 2 and beyond

    Second and later pages of lists, search results and archives.

  • Search result pages

    Pages that record what you searched for, not what you read.

  • AI chat conversations

    Links to single chats on AI assistant sites.

  • Meeting and call links

    Join links for video calls and meetings that are long over.

  • Consent and gateway pages

    Cookie banners, captchas and you-are-leaving redirect pages.

  • Browser and extension pages

    Settings, extension and other built-in browser pages.

  • Local addresses

    localhost, IP addresses and files opened from your computer.

  • Preview and staging sites

    Temporary preview links from hosting and tunnel services.

  • Downloads and opened files

    Links that pointed straight at a document, archive, image or video file.

  • Visited once, never again

    Sites you opened a single time and never came back to.

  • Shortened links

    Short links and redirect hops that only pointed somewhere else.

  • Mirrors and proxy copies

    Cached, translated and AMP copies of pages you also have in full.

  • Ad and tracking servers

    Addresses from ad and tracking networks that ended up in your history.

  • Sign-in and callback pages

    Log-in, log-out and single sign-on steps, some with tokens in the address.

  • Links carrying tokens

    Addresses with a token, signature or session ID in them.

  • Cart and checkout pages

    Carts, checkouts, payment steps and order confirmations.

  • Untitled or failed pages

    Pages with no real title, and error pages like 404 Not Found.

  • Webmail and calendar pages

    Single emails and calendar views from mail and calendar apps.

  • Social feeds and video

    Pages from social networks and video sites.

  • Links with tracking parameters

    Addresses carrying utm_, fbclid, gclid and similar tags.

  • Researched in one sitting

    Sites you read several pages of in one day and haven't opened in 30 days.

  • Seen once, over 6 months ago

    Pages you opened once, more than 180 days ago.

In detail

How Cleanup decides what is clutter

Cleanup reads only the addresses and titles already in your history. Here is what it checks, and how you stay in control of every delete.

Clear browsing history for the last hour, day or week

The first three cards cover everything you visited in the last hour, the last 24 hours and the last 7 days, within the range you have loaded. They are the quickest way to undo a gift search or a long evening of research.

  • They sit above the 24 content groups and only show when they have pages.
  • Each one deletes with the same two clicks as every other group.
  • Removable at the top counts the content groups, so these three don’t inflate it.

Keep the pages you need

Every group shows its first pages with a tick next to each. Untick a page and it is struck through and kept. Click and 1,200 more to review the rest, 50 at a time.

  • The Delete button counts only the pages that are still ticked.
  • Every group has its own export button, so you can save its pages as CSV, JSON or HTML first.
  • Deleting asks for a second click, then shows its progress: Deleting 400 of 1,203.

Delete duplicate history entries, keep the best copy

Two addresses count as the same page when they differ only by tracking tags, a #fragment or a trailing slash. Cleanup keeps the copy you visited most and offers the rest for deleting.

  • On a tie it keeps the most recent copy, then the shortest address.
  • Same page, different filters goes one step further and ignores sort, view and page-size settings.
  • A page can sit in more than one group. Removable still counts it once.

What else it does

  • Last hour, day or week

    Three time groups at the top clear what you just browsed: the last hour, 24 hours or 7 days.

  • Export a group first

    Every group has its own export button, so you can save its pages as CSV, JSON or HTML before deleting.

  • Nothing goes unseen

    You see the pages in a group before you delete it, and every delete waits for a second click.

FAQ

Questions about history cleanup

How do I remove junk pages from my browsing history?

Open Cleanup. It groups pages like search results, sign-in screens, duplicates and one-off visits. Open a group, untick anything you want to keep, then delete the rest.

Is Cleanup free?

Cleanup shows every group and its first pages for free. Deleting from Cleanup needs a license, which also supports the developer.

Will it delete pages I want to keep?

Only what you confirm. Untick any page in a group to keep it, and sites on your protected list are left out of every group.

The wise search once. History Monk remembers the rest.
