Recently Visited
Your SIMKL browsing memory (Private Browsing History)
The Recently Visited page is SIMKL’s private, device-level browsing timeline. It is not about what you watched or viewed, it is about what you explored.
Whenever you open anything on SIMKL, a movie, TV show, anime, user profile, or even a custom list.
It logs into a private, device-local browsing timeline. This creates a powerful personal log of your discovery journey across SIMKL.
This solves one of the most common problems users have while browsing:
“I saw something interesting earlier… but I don’t remember what it was.”
Instead of guessing, searching again, or digging through your browser history, SIMKL gives you a platform-aware browsing history designed specifically for entertainment discovery.
Your Recently Visited History: Is Private & For Device-Only (Local)
If you open SIMKL on another browser or computer, your Recently Visited list will be empty there. If you clear your browser data (cookies, local storage), this history is erased automatically.
Saved only on the current device (Browser)
Not synced across browsers
Not synced across devices
Not visible to anyone else
This design guarantees complete privacy, nothing you browse here becomes part of your public SIMKL profile.
A SIMKL-only browsing history, separate from your regular browser history.
What Pages Shows Under Recently Visited?

My Watch History
This is extremely useful when you:
Check & Compare multiple shows
Browse your & other members recommendation lists
Explore franchise relations
Research anime seasons or watch orders
Every time you open a page on SIMKL, it is saved in your local browsing timeline so you can come back to it later.
Your curiosity is captured so you can continue later.
a) Organized by time and type
Recently Visited is displayed in a timeline format that makes your browsing feel chronological and human.
Items are grouped by:
Date (Today, Yesterday, earlier days)
Time of day (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night)
Content type (Movie, Anime, Member, List, etc.)
This allows you to easily answer questions like:
“What was I browsing last night?”
“What did I look at earlier today?”
“Which anime pages did I open this morning?”
Instead of a flat list, it becomes a story of your exploration.
b) Smart duplicate handling (No clutter)
SIMKL does not spam your history.
If you visit the same page multiple times, it stays unique and always shows the latest visit time.
Example:
You opened Attack on Titan four days ago
You open it again today → It will now appear once, under Today
This prevents:
Duplicate clutter
Repetitive entries
Noise when revisiting favorite pages
Your Recently Visited stays clean, readable, and useful.
c) Browsing Behavior Insights
At the top of Recently Visited you can open Browsing Behavior Insights.
This turns your browsing history into visual analytics, showing:
Your peak browsing hours
Most active day of the week
Weekday vs weekend usage
Morning vs evening vs night activity
What you browse most (TV, Movies, Anime, Lists, etc.)
This is not about watching, it is about how you discover.
It helps you understand:
When you are most curious
When you research the most
When you usually explore new content
A powerful tool for power users, list builders, and binge planners.
d) Manual control & cleanup
Your Recently Visited timeline is fully under your control. SIMKL gives you powerful tools to manage this browsing history exactly the way you want:
You can:
Filter by Movies, TV, Anime, Members, or Lists
Select multiple items
Clear everything with one click
Remove only specific types
This allows you to isolate only the pages that matter, for example, seeing only anime you explored, or only movie pages you compared.
Simkl Account Cleanup & Deletion
You can clear everything instantly
With one click, you can remove your entire Recently Visited history from the current device. This is perfect when you want to:
Start a fresh discovery session
Remove old browsing trails
Or simply reset your workspace
You can remove only what you want
Instead of deleting everything, you can:
Delete only movies
Delete only anime
Remove just lists or profiles
Or clear only selected items
This makes Recently Visited behave like a precision cleanup tool, not a blunt reset.
This lets you:
Clean up research sessions
Reset discovery
Remove accidental visits
Start fresh anytime
No permanent data is affected, this is purely browsing history.
Why this feature is powerful
Recently Visited connects curiosity to action, it bridges the gap between casual browsing and serious tracking.
You might:
Explore 10 anime pages
Compare 5 shows
Open multiple seasons
check ratings for few movies
Check relations
Browse recommendations
…without adding or watching anything yet.
Later, when you’re ready to decide, SIMKL lets you pick up exactly where you left off.
It transforms:
“I think I saw something cool, last week on SIMKL, but forgot to add to plan to watchlist” into “Here it is — exactly what I was looking at.”
That is the difference between browsing and intent tracking. Recently Visited is not just a log, it is a working space for how you explore entertainment.
Privacy FAQ
Is my Recently Visited history public?
No. Your Recently Visited history is 100% private. It is never displayed on your SIMKL profile, never shared with followers.
Can friends or followers see what I visited?
No. Not even mutual followers, friends, or people you share your watchlists with can see this page. It is not a social feature, it is a private browsing tool for you only.
Can I share my Recently Visited pages with others?
No. Recently Visited is not shareable by design. There is no public link, or sharing option because it is meant to remain a private activity log.
Will it appear on my other devices?
No. Recently Visited is device-specific. If you use SIMKL on another browser, computer, phone, or tablet, it will start with an empty Recently Visited list.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Your Recently Visited history will be removed. Because it is stored locally, clearing cookies, site data, or local storage will erase it just like clearing browser history.
