Extract your own local chat history from AI coding assistants into a single, normalized JSONL format - for fine-tuning, personal analytics, or just backing up years of conversations before an app's local database gets cleared. Auto-discovers and extracts complete conversation history, including: tool's storage actually contains Every script searches macOS, Linux, and Windows conventions (/Library/Application Support, /.config, /.local/share, %APPDATA%, %LOCALAPPDATA%) automatically - you don't need to tell it which OS you're on.
