They can see your history. Now you can too.

We guide you through downloading much of your history from Google, Amazon, Spotify and others, then bring it together in one place you can search and explore. Your files stay on your computer. The tool doesn't upload them, to us or anyone else.

No account and nothing to install. Exports can take days to arrive, so the made-up person shows you what you'll get right now.

Your data is processed on your own computer

Most online tools ask you to upload your files. This one doesn't. It runs inside your browser, on your machine, and your files stay there.

Your computer

  1. Your exports
  2. Read by your browser
  3. Your private database

Our server

Receives none of your exports, and holds no copy of your database.

Read here

Your browser opens the files itself. They aren't sent anywhere to be processed.

Stored here

Your database stays in your browser's private storage. We have no copy to look at, lose or hand over.

Deleted here

One button removes the database from your browser. There's nothing on our side to delete.

Check it yourself

  1. Open the tool and wait until it says "Ready".
  2. Turn off your Wi-Fi.
  3. Add your files. They still import, because nothing needs to leave your computer.

Reconnect before you reload the page, as the tool itself comes from this site.

Why this exists

Big companies hold records of what you searched, watched and bought. Each service offers a download, and in the UK and EU data protection law gives you a right to a copy of your personal data. But the files are partial, slow to arrive and hard to read. This free tool brings them together on your own computer. They keep their copy. Now you can actually read yours.

How it works

  1. Ask for your data

    Pick the services you use. The guide gives you a link and the settings to choose for each one. It's written from public help pages, so your screens may differ.

  2. Wait for it

    Each company prepares your export. That takes anything from minutes to about a month. The guide keeps your progress in this browser and can make a calendar reminder.

  3. Open it in the tool

    Choose the files you downloaded. The tool reads them in your browser and adds your activity to a private database there.

  4. See what's there

    Look through your history across services, and check what the exports leave out. Save a copy of the database, or delete it, whenever you like.

Your whole history in one place

Your searches, purchases, videos and music normally sit in separate files from separate companies. Here they sit together, so you can search all of it at once, filter by service, type or date, and see how it connects. These pictures are the real tool, showing a made-up person.

Timeline

Everything on one chart, year by year. Zoom into a month or a day, down to each event.

Coverage

What each export holds, where the gaps are and what it can't show. Use it to judge the data before relying on it.

Coverage view: totals for a made-up person, and a table of first date, last date and events for each service. Coverage view: totals for a made-up person, and a table of first date, last date and events for each service.

Journeys

Possible links between services, like a video on TikTok, a search on Google and a purchase on Amazon. These come from matching words in titles. They're candidates, not facts.

Recall vs record

Guess what you spent or watched in a month, then see what the export shows. Neither number is the whole truth, and your guesses stay in your browser.

Services covered

  • Google Searches and YouTube history
  • Amazon Orders
  • Spotify Listening history
  • Netflix Viewing history
  • Instagram Likes, comments and viewing
  • Facebook Likes and searches
  • TikTok Likes, searches and watch history

This is early work. So far only Amazon and Google Search have been run on real exports. The others have only been tested on made-up files, so the tool may miss or misread things, and it tells you what it couldn't read. We aren't connected with any of these companies.

What stays with you, and what we see

Stays on your device

  • Your exports. They're processed in your browser and aren't uploaded.
  • The database built from them, in your browser's private storage.
  • Your guide progress, recall guesses and accessibility settings.

Files of messages, contacts, followers, photos or videos are skipped without being opened. TikTok is the exception: its export is one file, so any direct messages in it pass through your browser's memory while it's read. They're not stored.

What this site sees

  • Normal web traffic, as with any website: your IP address, browser type, the pages you ask for and when.
  • Your email address, if you join the waitlist, with your optional choice and the date.
  • Error reports when the site breaks.

There are no analytics or advertising trackers. The site's security policy also tells your browser not to let its code connect to any other host.

The privacy page has the details.

Questions

Does it cost anything? No

The guide and the tool are free to use, and you don't need an account.

Am I allowed to get this data? Yes

Each of these services has a way to download your data. In the UK and EU, data protection law also gives you a right to a copy of your personal data. Rules differ elsewhere, and this isn't legal advice.

What if I clear my browser? Your data goes

Your database lives in your browser's storage, so clearing it removes your data. We can't bring it back. Save a copy from the tool if you want to keep it, and restore from that copy later.

Does it use AI? Only if you ask

Optional topic suggestions use a small model that your browser downloads from this site, about 30 MB, and runs on your device. It picks the nearest label from a fixed list. It isn't an LLM or a chatbot, and it makes mistakes.

Will this show everything a company knows about me? No

Exports leave out most adverts you saw and much of what you only scrolled past, and each company decides what goes in. The Coverage view shows the limits we know about.

Can I sell my data here? Not today

You can't sell, share or donate data here today, and we can't say if or when you will. See below.

Sharing or selling might come later

We're looking at whether people could choose to share parts of their activity, sell them, or give them to research. None of that exists yet, it needs legal checks first, and we can't promise it will happen or that it would pay anything.

If you'd like to hear when there's news, leave your email address. Researchers are welcome too.
