MacOS desktop application for processing Google Takeout export files.

Download, unzip, and move package to /Applications folder. Application runs on MacOS Monterey 12.4.

The application extracts and filters search activity data from Google Takeout exports. All exports must be present in a single folder.

The application accepts Takeout export files in ZIP format, where the MyActivity report is in either JSON or HTML format.

All Takeout exports must be ZIP files in the format [ID].zip, where ID is an integer.

It is a CSV file containing the dates of presentation and the names to be filtered off the Takeout export. The CSV files must have the following format:

ID,DateOfPresentation,NamesToFilter
1001,2022-07-28,Forename Surname
1002,2022-07-29,Forename Surname

The CSV file must include a header in its first line, and the date of presentation must be in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

The application will generate two csv files per ID. All output files will be saved in the TakeoutFilter directory created in the output folder. This folder can then be zipped and shared:

• Aggregates: Named [id]-aggregates.csv, it contains the date of the first query, and the total number of queries before the filtering.

• Queries: Named [id]-queries.csv, it contains the list of health related queries after the filtering process, and their timestamp.
