Download ChatKeeper
Latest release: 2026.03.046
March 22, 2026
By downloading ChatKeeper, you are agreeing to its Terms of Service and EULA. It’s a quick read and (I believe) a reasonable policy, but it’s important that we start on the same page.
You can try ChatKeeper for free without providing your name, email, credit card, or anything else. If you don’t have a license, there will be some limitations as described here.
🤕 Heads up as of September 27, 2026
I recommend downloading ChatKeeper 2026.09.011-adventure instead of the version below.
Earlier releases can encounter errors with newer ChatGPT export formats. This Adventure Build includes the compatibility updates and adds a warning when ChatKeeper detects signs of an incomplete export.
Some ChatGPT exports are missing generated images and even entire conversation turns. This release cannot recover content missing from the export, so it would be wise to keep your older exports around. See the release notes for details and how you can help.
And feel free to send me an email for a one-time notification when a new official release is ready!
