  • Keyword search across history titles and URLs to find previously visited pages.
  • List, search, and inspect bookmarks including folder context and Reading List items with preview text and added date.
  • Use Cases: recover a recently viewed reference, find a saved tutorial in bookmarks, or identify top visited sites for personal analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions about safari

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search Safari browsing history by keyword on macOS?▼

You can search Safari browsing history by keyword using this Skill, which queries the local History.db file to match titles and URLs. It performs read-only searches across your recent visits, defaulting to a 7-day window, to help you quickly locate previously viewed pages.

Can I list my Safari bookmarks and reading list from the terminal?▼

You can list Safari bookmarks and reading list items from the terminal using this Skill, which parses the Bookmarks.plist file. It extracts folder context, preview text, and added dates, enabling you to review saved tutorials or articles without opening the browser.

Do I need Full Disk Access to read Safari history and bookmarks?▼

Full Disk Access is required for your terminal app to read Safari history and bookmarks. macOS protects these local data files, so granting this permission allows the Skill to safely copy and query History.db and parse Bookmarks.plist.

What macOS tools are required to query Safari browsing data?▼

To query Safari browsing data, the required macOS tools are sqlite3 and python3. The Skill relies on these dependencies to copy the local database, execute read-only queries on History.db, and parse the Bookmarks.plist file for your reading list.

Does querying local Safari history modify my original browser data?▼

Querying local Safari history does not modify your original browser data because this Skill performs strictly read-only operations. It works by copying History.db and parsing Bookmarks.plist, ensuring your actual Safari database and bookmarks remain untouched.
