Sweep browsing history, downloads & tabs clean by keyword, manually, on a timer, or the moment you go idle. ## History Broom: Keyword-Powered Privacy, On Your Schedule Some browsing you don't want lingering—a gift search, a sensitive lookup, or a work tab on a shared laptop. History Broom watches for the words you specify and sweeps away every trace. Open tabs, history entries, and download records are gone in a single click, or automatically on your terms. ### How It Works Add a keyword and choose how it should match: plain text, whole word, exact domain, or full regex for power users. History Broom then hunts down every matching tab, history entry, and download and removes it completely. ### Clean Your Way - **On demand:** Hit _Clear All Now_, or use _Preview_ first to see exactly what will be removed. - **On a timer:** Sweep automatically every set number of seconds. - **When you step away:** Trigger a clean-up after your machine goes idle. - **The instant it happens:** Real-time scrubbing deletes matching history the exact moment it is written. - **Event-based:** Clean on tab close, browser start, or use a **panic keyboard shortcut** when you need it gone right now. ### Built-In Safety Net Exceptions keep the sites you never want touched (like your bank) permanently off-limits, even if they happen to match a keyword. For a heavier sweep, an optional, double-confirmed **Deep Clean** purges cache and form data browser-wide. ### Everything Stays on Your Device History Broom makes zero network requests. There are no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party code. Your keywords, settings, and stats live only in your browser's local storage. ### Feature Breakdown - **4 Keyword Match Modes:** Contains, word, domain, or regex - **Exceptions List:** Keep essential sites permanently protected - **Safe Deletion:** Preview before you delete - **Multiple Triggers:** Timer, idle, tab-close, startup, and real-time - **Panic Button:** Dedicated keyboard shortcut for instant clearing - **Security:** Optional PIN lock on the popup - **Portability:** Export and import your settings - **Accessibility:** Dark mode and full keyboard support - **100% Local:** No accounts, no servers, no tracking
