Are you tired of losing important conversations on Skype? Do you wish there was a way to easily manage and search through your chat history? Look no further than SkyHistory, the ultimate chat history manager for Skype.

With SkyHistory, you can store and manage all of your Skype conversations in one place. No more searching through multiple chats or losing important messages. You can filter chats by date, contact, or group of contacts, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.

But that's not all - SkyHistory also features a built-in calendar that categorizes your chats by date. This makes it easy to see when certain conversations took place and keep track of important events.

One of the best things about SkyHistory is its automated 5-day import feature. This means that every five days, all of your new Skype history will be automatically imported into the program. And if you want to import all-time history from before installing SkyHistory - no problem! It's just a click away.

But what if there are certain contacts whose chat history you don't want to store? With SkyHistory, you have the option to track or ignore specific contacts' chat histories. This gives you complete control over which conversations are saved and which aren't.

And let's say there are certain messages within a conversation that are particularly important - with SkyHistory's bookmarking option, you can easily mark those messages so they're always at your fingertips.

Of course, sometimes there are messages or entire sessions that need to be deleted. With SkyHistory's message/session deletion option, it's quick and easy to get rid of anything unnecessary.

Another great feature is the ability to switch database locations. Whether you're using multiple devices or just want more control over where your data is stored, this function allows for maximum flexibility.

And if speed is what matters most - with quick text lookup feature finding any message becomes as simple as typing in a keyword!

Skyhistory also offers message filtering options so users can quickly find specific types of content within their chat logs such as images or links shared during conversation

In conclusion: If managing large amounts data from various sources has become overwhelming then skyhistory may be solution looking help streamline process while providing additional features like advanced search capabilities bookmarking options customizable layouts among others make sure stay top everything happening across different platforms services used daily basis

Review

As a pain-in-the-cache, searching archived e-mail messages has nothing on Skype's chat history and call logs. Scand's SkyHistory is a free Windows program that lets you view, manage, search, and save your Skype chat and call logs independent of your Skype client and settings. SkyHistory collects and stores all of your Skype data in a single database on your system's hard drive, ideally with a portable USB drive as backup. Its advanced searching, filtering, and bookmarking capabilities let you exclude senders whose messages you don't want to save (like spammers) and search for single messages or entire threads for individual users or whole groups within specific time frames. With SkyHistory, you can set wide or narrow time frames and particular users' histories, and then search for specific words or phrases. That's a big help when you remember talking or messaging with so-and-so about something or other a while ago (which describes our typical search). While SkyHistory will run in Windows versions as early as Windows 2000 and XP, the developer recommends a 1GHz CPU at a minimum, and 256MB of RAM. Of course, you'll need Skype, too, but if you're interested in SkyHistory, it's safe to assume you already use it.

SkyHistory needs your permission to access your Skype client; once it's running, SkyHistory minimizes itself to the system tray. New SkyHistory users can import their existing Skype data. We did, and our logs and history showed up in a tree view in the Users panel in SkyHistory's left sidebar, which also displays expandable Calendar and History panels. The main window displays whatever messages or groups of messages you select or search for: All of one user's messages, for example, or an entire discussion thread. Maybe you've discussed a topic on and off over a long period of time and would like to view all the pertinent messages together. Just define a keyword search.

This useful app complies fully with all Skype rules, and it won't alter your logs or records stored in Skype. Heavy Skype users will love SkyHistory, but anyone with a Skype account needs it, too.
