Import Your Data

Import chats from Claude, ChatGPT, OpenCode, or an OpenMates account export.

Summary

  • Use import when you want to migrate chats from Claude, ChatGPT, OpenCode, or an OpenMates account export.
  • Open Settings > Account > Import, choose the file, review the chats, then import the selected items.
  • Imported chats appear in your chat list like regular encrypted chats.

What It Does

Import reads supported export files in your browser, shows the chats it found, and lets you choose which chats to import. Selected plaintext messages are safety-scanned, then encrypted on your device before permanent storage.

How to Import

  1. Go to Settings > Account > Import.
  2. Choose a supported JSON or ZIP export file.
  3. Review the chats found in the file.
  4. Click Import selected chats.
  5. Wait for the success results, then open the imported chats from your chat list.

What Is Supported

  • Claude official JSON or ZIP exports.
  • ChatGPT official JSON or ZIP exports.
  • JSON transcripts created with opencode export <session-id> > opencode-session.json.
  • OpenMates Account Export V1 ZIP files.
  • Visible user and assistant text. OpenCode reasoning and tool payloads are not imported as chat messages.

What Happens During Import

  • OpenMates parses the file locally in your browser.
  • Messages are safety-scanned before being stored in your account.
  • Imported chats appear as regular encrypted chats in your chat list.
  • You can delete imported chats afterwards like any other chat.

Tips

  • Import only files you trust.
  • If you are testing an export, import it into a test account first.
  • Delete test imports after verifying them so your chat list stays clean.
