Bring your history with you.
A free Mac app that moves your ChatGPT conversations into Claude, organized and ready to use.
How it works
Claude does the organizing
Drop in your ChatGPT export ZIP, click Export, and your conversations land in a folder Claude Desktop can read directly. Then Claude walks through a structured process to turn years of raw history into something actually useful.
Scan and read
Claude reads conversation content across all years, looking for recurring projects, shared vocabulary, and threads you never finished.
Ask for context
Claude asks for a screenshot of your ChatGPT Projects sidebar so it can match conversations to real project names instead of guessing.
Propose a structure
Claude suggests a folder layout based on what it found. You review and approve it before anything moves.
Organize and surface
Claude creates the folders, moves the files, flags anything uncertain, then tells you which conversations look most like unfinished work.
What you get
Everything, organized
Claude's file upload maxes out at 30 MB. Your ChatGPT export is probably ten times that. Every other workaround requires an API key, a terminal, or a Python environment — none of which should be a prerequisite for moving your own data.
This app handles it differently. Drop in your export ZIP, click Export, and your conversations land in a clean folder Claude Desktop can access directly. A START_HERE.md file tells Claude exactly what it's looking at and what to do with it. No account. No upload. Nothing leaves your machine.
Privacy
Your data never leaves
your machine
The obvious version of this tool is a website: upload your ZIP, get back a processed folder. That is not what this is.
Your ChatGPT export contains years of your thinking. Ideas you were working through, decisions you made, things you were trying to figure out. That is not data that should pass through a server, and it is not data you should want sitting in someone's storage because you used a free converter tool.
Everything happens on your machine. Your export ZIP never leaves your computer.
