Chrome Extension companion to JourneyAL
JourneyAL Extension
This is the browser extension companion for JourneyAL, for Chrome. If your tabs are out of control, bookmarks are spread across multiple devices, history is unsearchable, and your search engine results leave much to be desired because you can't find the page you were just looking at this extension is for you.
JourneyAL is a service with a one time fee because we believe software should be something you pay for once and own. Right now that software is provided via a web service but in the future our plan is to make a self hosted version as well.
The functionality is basic.
This extension will:
- Determine if the page should be saved or not
- Take a snapshot of the current page you're on
- Collect the images of the current page you're on
- Upload both of them to the web service
- If you save a bookmark locally, that page will be marked as a bookmark on the JourneyAL web service
The web service shows you full text searchable log of your browsing history across every device where the extension is installed. In addition it shows the images which are searchable based on the same keywords, and the bookmarks as well.
The web service also allows you to manage a block list of pages you don't want saved.
We created this service because our tabs are out of control, history search is not accurate in any of the browsers we use, and information that we rely on has been disappearing from search engines.
Important notes:
This extension will record your browsing history, if there is a page you do not want to be recorded we highly encourage the use of an Incognito Window.
Do not enable this extension to capture Incognito Window activity.
