AI Chat Backup Features — Local Search & Archive
AI Chat Importer lets you import, search, and archive ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and Grok conversations — entirely locally.
Import ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek & Grok
Upload official export files from ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, or Grok and instantly load your entire AI conversation history into a private archive.
Full-Text Search
Search across every message in seconds. Find prompts, responses, or keywords instantly. The Desktop app features a full search rebuild with rich result cards, keyword highlighting, platform badges, and date and folder filters.
100% Local Processing
No uploads. No servers. No tracking. Everything runs locally on your device — in your browser with the web app, or natively with the Desktop App.
Organized Conversation View
Browse conversations by date and title in a clean, distraction-free interface.
Offline Access
Once imported, your chat history is accessible anytime — even without internet access.
Privacy-First Architecture
Designed specifically for users who value data ownership and privacy.
Desktop App Features
The paid Desktop App (Windows & Linux) adds a suite of power-user features on top of the free web app.
Unlimited Storage
Conversations stored as individual files on your filesystem — not in a browser. Scale to tens of thousands of conversations with no storage limits.
Smart Import & Deduplication
Every import is analysed before writing. New, updated, and duplicate conversations are detected automatically. You see a full summary and confirm before anything is saved.
Auto-Sort with AI
Uses a local Ollama model to suggest a folder taxonomy for your conversations. Review and edit suggestions before anything is applied. 100% local — no conversation data ever leaves your device.
Folder Manager
Full-screen folder view with create, rename, delete, drag-to-reorder folders, multi-select with bulk actions, and an inbox drawer. Organise thousands of conversations with ease.
Native App Performance
Faster than the browser app for large archives. Runs natively on Windows 10/11 and Linux.
