The problem here is quite real; just because one has access to a remote resource now doesn't mean that access will remain, either in the short or long term.

I'm not crazy about using a 3rd party service for it though.

I've half-considered wiring up something with OBS to just record my web browser all day, but, besides the intense storage, indexing and searching is more than painful.

Webrecorder is open source, and you can run your own instance if you like.

Yes - it's also a digital preservation project from a not-for-profit arts organisation.

It looks like webrecorder has a downloadable version you can run entirely on local storage with no need for an account.

How about a local app? I am working on almost exactly what you're describing.
