hister

Hister is a private, locally-run search engine that indexes the full contents of web pages you visit and files you keep, allowing you to search them through a web interface, terminal, or AI assistant. It prioritizes privacy with no telemetry or cloud dependency, and users can install it via binary download, Homebrew, Docker, or Nix, then enable indexing through a browser extension. The tool supports searching browser history, local directories, and imported files without requiring any initial configuration for personal use.
