ChatGPT

Save ChatGPT chats to Obsidian, automatically.

Chatlog saves new ChatGPT activity as Markdown in your vault while Chrome is open and you have granted chatgpt.com access.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick your vault

    Choose the folder Chatlog should write to. Point it at your Obsidian vault if you use one.

  2. 2

    Allow ChatGPT

    Connect ChatGPT in Chatlog and allow access to chatgpt.com when prompted. Then refresh the ChatGPT tab to begin saving new activity.

  3. 3

    Keep chatting

    With automatic saving enabled, new and continued chats are captured while Chrome is open and you are signed in. To save one open chat, use Save conversation in the popup. For older chats, import ChatGPT's official export ZIP or JSON in Settings; Chatlog does not scan your account history.

Questions

What does Chatlog do?

Chatlog keeps your ChatGPT and Claude conversations in a searchable archive in this browser. Connect a folder for Markdown or Obsidian, connect Notion, or use both. Grok supports manual visible-text saves.

Where are my chats stored?

Every saved chat is archived locally in this browser. Copies go to your connected Markdown folder and Notion workspace when enabled. Browser storage is removed if you clear extension data or uninstall; files already written to your folder and pages in Notion remain.

Are images saved?

Supported images can be saved to your Markdown folder when ChatGPT or Claude provides an accessible download link, subject to size limits. Unavailable images are marked in the note. Grok saves visible text only. Notion receives file references rather than binary uploads.

What isn't saved?

ChatGPT memory and dedicated Canvas recovery are not supported. Claude artifact source is saved when available and enabled; full interactive previews are not preserved. Files need accessible download data or a matching file in an imported export. Missing content is marked in the saved note.

Keep the conversations that matter.
