This is great! Can't wait to give it a try. Waiting for the Windows version though.

Does the electron GUI need to be open for it to fetch the data, or can it do that as a background service as well, for example if one just wanted an always up to date persistory.db to use directly? For example an api server and a custom browser extension consuming it, or are these also being considered for browserparrot

Heh, ah yes windows. Definitely want to support this. Will be a bigger lift than Linux, but definitely something we'd like to support (we both have windows boxes too so there's a bit of skin in the game).

Regarding the GUI, good question. The GUI does _not_ need to be open. There's a background process that periodically copies new history from the various sqlite databases into the BrowserParrot db.

In Activity Monitor this process appears as "core." I know, terribly ambiguous name. It was originally named for the Clojure namespace where that bit of code lives, but renaming the process to make it more clear what's running is on our backlog.

Can also find the process via `lsof -i :44444`.
