browser-history-refindery
Import macOS browser history into a Refindery backend.
refindery-import discovers Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and compatible Chromium
profiles; reads safe snapshot copies of their history databases; applies local
privacy exclusions; and submits eligible URLs through an incremental,
resumable pipeline.
Read the complete documentation for setup, privacy behavior, configuration, command reference, troubleshooting, and maintainer architecture.
Quick start
Requires macOS, Python 3.13+, uv, and a running
Refindery backend.
uv tool install browser-history-refindery
mkdir -p ~/.config/refindery-import
cd ~/.config/refindery-import
refindery-import list-profiles
refindery-import import --dry-run
export REFINDERY_AUTH_TOKEN="replace-with-your-token"
refindery-import
The first import command creates a commented config.toml. Local progress and
deduplication state are stored in refindery_state.sqlite3.
Safari history requires Full Disk Access for the terminal application under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access. Restart the terminal after granting access.
