FAQ

Is my chat data uploaded?+

No. Your export is read and turned into an archive entirely in your browser — it is never sent to a server, and the archive you download is a plain file on your own device. We do count anonymous, aggregate usage on our own server (a page view, that an export was processed) — never your conversations, their titles, or their contents.

Where do I get the export?+

In ChatGPT: Settings → Data controls → Export data; you'll be emailed a zip containing conversations.json. In Claude: Settings → Privacy → Export data, which gives you a similar conversations file. Drop that JSON here — both shapes are recognized automatically.

What is in the file I download?+

One self-contained chat-archive.html: a sidebar of every conversation grouped by month and sorted newest-first, a full-text search box that filters and highlights matches, and a reading pane. No internet connection, no account, and no dependencies — it works the same in five years as it does today.
