What histre does
histre is a self-organizing knowledge base for everything you read, save and write on the web. The browser extension captures it as you go; the web app is where you find it again, organize it, and share it.
Capture
histre keeps what you read and write on the web, without you having to remember to save it.
-
Tree-style web history
The extension keeps the pages you visit, with titles, favicons and time spent, laid out as a tree so you can retrace a research session. Pause it whenever you like.
-
Bookmarks and notes on any page
Save a page with one keystroke, tag it, and write notes right there in the extension. Notes support links, lists and images.
-
Highlights
Select text on any site and keep it, in several colors. Highlights land in your notes with a link back to the exact spot on the page.
-
Save and restore tabs
Turn a window full of tabs into a collection, close them, and reopen the lot later on any computer. Share the set with your team.
-
Extract and compare data
On sites like Airbnb and Twitter the extension pulls the facts off the page, price, rating, followers, into a table, so comparing twenty tabs takes one glance.
-
Notes on YouTube videos
Take notes while a video plays and each line is stamped with the time, so a click jumps back to the moment. A collection of videos plays back to back.
-
Read later
A reading list that is one click away in the extension and lives next to your notes instead of in yet another app.
-
Take notes on Telegram
Message a link or a thought to the histre bot from your phone and it is saved as a note. No app to install.
Find
Everything you have captured is searchable in one place.
-
Deep search
One search box over your notes, highlights, collections, conversations and browsing history, narrowed by type, time range or collection. The text of pages you merely visited is indexed too.
-
Ask AI about the page you are on
Open the sidebar on any page and ask a question about it. The answer comes from the page's own text, and you can keep it as a note.
-
Import your ChatGPT conversations
Bring your ChatGPT history into histre, where each chat becomes searchable, taggable and shareable like any other note.
-
Automatic tags
histre suggests tags for what you save, so the organizing happens as you go rather than in a big clean-up later.
Organize and share
Group things by topic, work on them with others, and publish when you want to.
-
Collections
Curated lists of bookmarks, notes and highlights. Keep them private, share them with your team, or make them public pages that anyone can follow.
-
Public pages and RSS feeds
Every public collection has its own page and an RSS feed, and you get a member page listing everything you have made public. Publishing is just adding to a list.
-
Teams
Invite colleagues, share collections with edit or view access, and let the research your team does stay with the team.
-
Share Hacker News upvotes
See which stories your friends upvoted on Hacker News, and let them see yours.
Connect
histre fits into the tools you already use.
-
Integrations
Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Telegram, IFTTT and more. Import from Pocket, Pinboard, Raindrop, Diigo and your browser's bookmarks.
-
Slack channels as collections
Connect a workspace and pick channels. Each one becomes a collection that stays in sync, searchable with everything else. Select a thread and summarize it into a document.
-
API
A documented REST API with token auth. Everything the extension can do, your scripts can do too.
-
Your data, exportable
Download everything you have saved at any time. We charge for the product, not for your data.
Everyday details
Small things that make histre pleasant to live in.
-
Keyboard first
Tap Shift twice on any page for a command palette, or set your own shortcut. Everything in the web app can be reached without a mouse.
-
Works with screen readers
The web app and extension are built and tested with NVDA and Orca by a blind member of the team.
-
Dark theme
One setting, remembered across your browsers and sessions.
-
Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari
One extension, four browsers, installed from each browser's store. Prefer to load it yourself? There is a full build for Chrome on the install page.
-
Reposts and moved pages
When a page is reposted at a new address, such as a Craigslist ad, histre spots the same content and carries your notes over.
