The standard history function of chromium browsers saves all visits with 10 information fields per visit over a maximum period of 3 months. This app only saves the last visit with 4 information fields: the domain, title, url and date of the last visit.

All the information is saved locally in the browser and can be exchanged with local data files (json-format).
