Before you start: add History Monk from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. The Chrome Web Store version also installs in Edge.
Step 1: Open Timeline
Click Timeline in the sidebar. It opens on the most recent day you browsed. The newest page is on top, with the time on the left and the site on the right.
The line at the top sums up the day: how many pages, how many sites, and your first and last visit.
Step 2: Pick the day
Use the ‹ and › arrows at the top to step one day back or forward. To jump further, click the day’s name, like Yesterday. A calendar opens on the month you’re looking at. Days without any history are greyed out, so you can’t land on an empty day.
Step 3: Read it session by session
Pages less than 30 minutes apart stay together as one session. Where you stopped for longer, the Timeline shows how long you were away.
Click any entry to open that page.
Step 4: Search the day in History
Click Open in History at the top right. History Monk switches to History with after: and before: for that day already in the search box. Type a word after them to search only that day, or export or delete just those pages.
Tips
- A day in the sidebar range. Timeline only shows days inside the range picked under Time in the sidebar. Pick All time to reach every day.
- Times follow your clock. Choose a 12- or 24-hour clock in Settings.
- Search a few days at once. Use the date button in History. See how to search your history by date.
