Claude doesn't let you search across your conversations — but it does let you export them. This tool lets you browse through past chats and search them by keyword.

- Check your email for a download link (it might take a minute or two). Download and unzip the file you receive.
- Open up
index.htmlfrom this repo in your browser. Click Choose File in the left sidebar. Navigate to your unzipped folder and select theconversations.jsonfile. - All your exported conversations will load onto the sidebar; clicking them will open them in the main pane.
- Toggling between Last Modified and Created will change the order conversations are shown in.
- Using the search box will find only chats containing your keywords.
- Clicking Open in Claude will open the current chat on claude.ai.
Claude's current export tool doesn't include Artifacts or certain blocks that show the output of tool use. Anthropic replaces them with "This block is not supported on your current device yet" or similar language. But in-chat code blocks will appear, and Claude's other Markdown formatting (bold, italic, code, lists, etc.) should render properly.
This all runs in your browser; your chats never leave your computer.
