Hello again,
I wanted to share a quick update for anyone working with ChatGPT export data.
I’ve just released a new version of ChatKeeper, which converts ChatGPT exports into local Markdown files and keeps them in sync as you import newer exports over time.
This release adds a desktop GUI along with installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, which should make it much easier to try out and use without a manual setup process. The CLI is still included and fully supported.
It also adds support for ChatGPT’s newer export format. Sometime in mid-February the format changed, containing conversations in multiple files (for example conversations-000.json, conversations-001.json, etc.) rather than a single conversations.json. (If any other existing scripts or tools have stopped working recently, this might be the culprit.) ChatKeeper now supports both formats.
A few highlights:
-
Desktop GUI + CLI in one package
-
Signed installers for Windows and macOS
-
Linux RPM and DEB packages
-
Drag-and-drop support for export ZIP files
-
Local-only workflow, no telemetry, no networking at all
If you think this might be useful to you or if you’re just curious, you can download it from

And thanks to everyone in this thread who has shared scripts and insights around the export format. They’ve been genuinely helpful.
