A blazing-fast CLI tool to inspect, preview, and remove browsing history, visit records, search keywords, and autofill entries for specific domains. Cross-platform. Profile-aware. Safe by default.
Built with safety and precision in mind. Preview before you delete, target specific profiles, and clean across all data types.
Surgically remove history for specific domains. Only matching records are affected — everything else stays untouched.
Preview exactly what will be removed before committing. See a detailed impact report with zero risk to your data.
Detect and list all Chrome profiles. Target a specific profile by name — perfect for shared machines or work/personal setups.
Cleans across five data types: history URLs, visit records, search keywords, autofill entries, and URL segments.
Native support for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Automatically detects Chrome's data directory on each platform.
Refuses to run if Chrome is open — preventing database corruption. Requires explicit confirmation before any deletion.
