Download your Claude chat history
Claude is where a lot of long-form thinking happens — drafts, code reviews, research. Those threads deserve a home outside the browser tab.
Why Claude history is easy to lose
- Long Projects and chats are hard to re-find months later
- UI changes and workspace switches break muscle memory
- Copy-paste doesn’t scale past a few conversations
What TotalRecalls does for Claude
On Windows, TotalRecalls can connect using your local Claude session and export conversations into a provider folder with Markdown + JSON per chat.
- Install TotalRecalls
- Select Claude
- Complete local sign-in when prompted
- Run export to your chosen directory
Good practices
- Export after major writing projects, not only when you feel panic
- Name your disk folder clearly, e.g.
AI-Archive/Claude - If you use multiple AI tools, keep sibling folders per provider
