Nothing opens your chat export. This does.

Drop in the export from ChatGPT or Claude. Every conversation comes back as notes, plain text, a web page or a PDF — readable, searchable, every message accounted for.

Where it goes

Pick where it should live

You do not have to decide now, and you are not stuck with it. One export turns into any of these, as many times as you like, at no extra cost.

If you already keep notes

Obsidian

Every chat becomes a note you can search, link and tag alongside everything else you keep. Sorted into folders by month, with an index page to start from.

Have a look If you want no lock-in at all

Plain text notes

One simple text file per conversation, in the format almost every note app on earth can read. Apple Notes, Notion, Google Docs, or just a folder on your desktop.

Have a look If you want it to just open

One web page

A single file holding the whole archive, pictures included. Double-click it and it opens in your browser — no internet, no app, no account. Still true in twenty years.

Have a look If you need to send or print it

PDF

The familiar one. Everything in a single document you can email, print or drop in a shared folder — or one PDF per conversation if you would rather keep them apart.

Have a look

The count

Nothing disappears quietly

Every message either ends up in your archive or gets written down as one we could not read, along with the reason. The two numbers are added together and checked against the file you gave us — so there is no third pile.

Every message in one exporta sample, not your file8,391 kept21 we could not read

One dot for every message in the file, in blocks of a hundred — so the twenty-one in amber are not a rounding error you have to take on faith. They are right there, and each one is named below.

Kept intact

The bits that usually come out wrong

A conversation is not just words. Code, tables and images are exactly what tends to arrive scrambled — so each of these has a test that locks in what the result should look like, and a change that spoils one stops the release.

Code inside code

When an answer quotes an example that itself contains code, most converters lose track of where the code ends and swallow the rest of the message.

Tables that keep their shape

A comparison table is one of the most useful things a chat produces, and one of the first things to collapse into a run of loose words.

Pictures the export forgot

Sometimes the file your provider sends mentions an image it never actually included. You get told which one, by name, instead of finding a hole years later.

Every message either arrives in your archive, or gets written down with the reason why.

Procedure

How this goes

Three steps, about ten minutes — most of which is waiting on your provider.

Ask ChatGPT or Claude for your data
It arrives as an email with a download link. OpenAI can take up to seven days, and the link stops working 24 hours after it lands — Claude is usually quicker. Grab it while it is live.
Where to click, step by step
Drop it on this page
It is read right here on your own computer — nothing is sent anywhere. You see the full count of what is inside it before you decide anything, and before any money is involved.
Back up to the drop zone
Choose where it lands
Notes for Obsidian, plain text files for anything else, one web page that opens on its own, or a PDF. Change your mind later and convert the same export again — you only ever pay once.

Privacy

Do not believe us. Check.

Every site handling private files says it is safe, and the ones that are not say it too — so our saying it should not move you. Here is a test you can run instead, in about ten seconds, with no technical knowledge at all.

Turn off your wifi. Then convert your export. It works, all the way to the finished archive. Nothing that needed your conversations on a server could do that.

The conversion loads onto your machine before you pick a file, which is what makes that possible — and a test runs the whole thing with the network cut off, so a change that breaks it never reaches you.

No account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to cancel.
No extension. Ever. Extensions read the page you are logged into and break every time the provider ships a change. This reads the file the provider already gave you.
The server sees a licence key. That is the entire list. Not a title, not a message, not a filename.
Close the tab and it is gone. Nothing is kept between visits except the key, if you have one.
