# Chronicler
Chronicler is an offline-first web browser. Chronicler works as your own personal:
- Web archiver, snapshotting pages exactly as you remember them.
- Search engine, providing full-text search of all pages you visit.
- Web crawler, automatically downloading entire sites to be browsed later.

## Getting Started
**macOS:** You can download the latest version from the [releases page](https://github.com/CGamesPlay/chronicler/releases).
**Other platforms:** Currently binary releases are published and tested for macOS only. If you are interested in testing another platform, please get in touch!
### ⚠️ Early development warning
Chronicler is functional but very early in development. Many features you might expect from a web browser have not yet been implemented. Your feedback is welcomed! Some features that have not yet been implemented include:
- Keyboard shortcuts for everything (back/forward, open location, new tab).
- Find in page.
- Importing and exporting WARC files for interoperability.
- Collections of pages, to restrict searching and manage disk space.
