Thank you, this is great! :D
I really missed the timestamps from Chrome (but Chrome was a CPU/Memory hog, so I had to switch to Safari). And it was difficult finding any clean way to get the history in Safari (for my timesheet), but this did the trick!
Hi @ @lindeskar,
Sorry for the stupid question, where do I run your code to see the time stamp for the safari browser?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah. Works. Thanks a lot :D
Works well but doesn't show url unfortunately. Url is in another table I think
Might be useful for someone: you can view the history visually in a GUI like https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/
It's the same file in the command line: /Users/your_user_name/Library/Safari/History.db
Hope this helps someone.

Apparently there is no way to view the timestamp of Safari browser history without opening the SQLite database and converting the Unix timestamp. This will dump all history in your shell with the timestamp converted.
Replace "alex" with your username! :)
