Chronicle

A full archive of your digital history

Chronicle collects everything you have messaged, read, watched, and listened to into a single, searchable place.

Dozens of integrations

Connect the services you use every day. Messages, photos, reading, viewing and listening history, and more.

Private and open-source

Chronicle is local-first. Your data stays on your machine and never touches a third-party service.

Origin story

Imagine if your complete personal history was accessible to you in a single, unified archive.

Imagine being able to search for something across everything you've messaged, read, or viewed. Imagine using this system to help you make sense of complex topics or navigate connections between information.

In 1945, the Memex was supposed to be this device, but it was never built.

Chronicle is the open-source adaptation of an experimental personal project that attempted to build a modern-day memex.

Demo and walkthrough of the experimental memex that Chronicle grew out of.
