Quickly navigate the web archive and travel back in time without leaving the current tab.

Important: Vandal is not affiliated to the Internet Archive. It uses the Wayback Machine API and is a tiny and complementary subset to the mighty Wayback Machine.

Vandal focuses on ease-of-use and supports the following features for navigation and inspection: 📅 Calendar View: The default navigation mode which uses the least amount of surface area with a mini calendar view. Supports a calendar input that shows archival stats and allows selection of month across the years. 📊 Graph View: Navigation mode based on graphs of year and month. 🧭 Navigator: Built-in browser with ◀️ ▶️ 🔄 actions. 🎮 Navigation Panel: A bottom panel with navigation buttons to zip through archived snapshots for a date or across the month. 🕛 History Panel: Access your navigation history for a website. 🔩 Resource Drawer: A drawer that you can toggle to view timestamp differences of archived resources such as images, scripts, etc. relative to the page. This drawer updates automatically based on URL. ⌛ Historical View (beta): Displays the snapshot of a website throughout the years.
