TouchCopy displays all the internet browsing History from the Safari app on your iPhone. Clicking on a website in the list displays the website on the right side of the window, if your computer is connected to the internet.

You can switch between Bookmarks and History by clicking the tabs with the same name over the list.

Saving and Opening websites

To view a webpage from your history, select a page, then click "Open in Browser" to open it on your operating system's preferred web browser (such as Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc).

TouchCopy offers a range of export formats:

  • "Copy as Shortcuts": Export a selected webpage as a shortcut on your computer. Launching the saved shortcut file on your computer will open the webpage in your default browser.
  • "Copy to CSV": Saving as CSV (comma-separated values), will allow you to open your internet history in a spreadsheet manager like Excel or Apple Numbers.
    The document contains information about each webpage: Title, URL (web address) and the type.
  • "Copy as Web Page": Creates a file containing a list of links to your chosen pages. Opening the file will launch your default web browser on your computer.
