What you get
Habeas is an open-source browser extension that collects your documents from Hover and saves them wherever you choose. From this source it extracts:
- domain renewal receipts — each purchase with its date, amount, currency, store and category.
How it works
It is not a service that connects to hover.com on its own. It runs inside your own browser, reusing the session you already have open:
Sign in yourself
You go to hover.com and sign in yourself, as always, with your MFA or whatever code you use.
Habeas reuses that session
Habeas reuses that already-authenticated session to request your documents, exactly as the site itself does.
You choose where it goes
You choose the destination: a download, a local folder, your Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV, S3 or an endpoint of your own.
Your password is never read, never stored and never sent anywhere, and nothing runs in the background while you are away. This is a community source: its definition is public and reviewable, and it runs under the same security rules as every other.
What Hover actually gives you
Hover charges you for domain registrations and renewals, so what there is to keep is the billing history: each receipt with its number, date and total. They are small documents, but they are the ones an accountant asks for and the ones that vanish quietly if the account ever lapses.
Worth knowing about this source
- Hover does not paginate. The receipts arrive embedded in the same control-panel call the site makes to draw the page, so the whole history comes back in a single request.
- There is no receipt file to download: Hover shows each one as a web page, so what you get is a render of that page rather than a document the service issued, given a few seconds to draw before it is captured.
- The response carries no currency of its own, so amounts are recorded as US dollars, which is what Hover bills in.
Frequently asked questions
Does Habeas store my Hover password?
No. You sign in yourself, on the usual website, including any verification code. Habeas reuses the session your browser already has open and never reads or stores your credentials.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser. Documents only go to the destination you pick: a download, a folder on your machine, your own Google Drive or Dropbox, or an endpoint you configure.
What format do I get the documents in?
The original documents exactly as the service issues them (JSON, HTML), together with a manifest holding the normalised data.
Is it free?
Yes. Habeas is free software under the AGPL-3.0 licence and its code is public on GitHub.

Your service is not on the list?
Habeas can learn a new one without any code. Record mode watches the site’s own API while you browse it normally and drafts the source for you; you test it against your own account, and then keep it to yourself or share it so everyone gets it. That is where most of the catalog came from.
