v0.1.8

Import older Gemini chats, more private analytics & fixes

  • Import older Gemini chats — Gemini now supports importing your existing chat history, so older conversations become searchable without opening them one by one
  • Helpful search reminders after import — after importing older chats, LLMnesia now gently reminds you to try search so you can check that your new index is useful. The reminder stops once you search
  • Clearer sign-in guidance — if you try to import ChatGPT history while signed out, LLMnesia now tells you to sign in and try again instead of looking like nothing happened
  • No duplicate Gemini results after import — imported Gemini chats and chats you later open normally now stay merged into one searchable conversation
  • Gemini chat dates stay accurate — imported Gemini conversations now keep their original dates instead of appearing as if they were created today
  • Search reminders work after partial imports — if an import stops early but still brings in chats, LLMnesia now treats it as successful enough to prompt you to try search. Empty draft chats no longer make the import look like it failed
  • More private analytics — optional email signups no longer connect your email to product analytics, and analytics events are filtered to keep conversation text, titles, URLs, and other personal details out
  • A more consistent interface — the popup and search palette now share the same calmer visual style, so moving between them feels like one product
v0.1.7

Welcome page on install, Guided first search & 5 fixes

  • Welcome page on install — installing the extension now opens a welcome page that helps you import your existing ChatGPT and Claude history so search works right away, instead of waiting for new chats to be indexed
  • Guided first search — the welcome page now opens with a 3-step checklist: step 1 brings in your history (ChatGPT/Claude one-click import, or automatic indexing on other supported sites), step 2 explains local on-device indexing, and step 3 shows how to search with a "Try a search" button. Import is now the primary action up front so your first search isn't run against an empty index, with a clear reminder that indexing stays on your device and no conversation data is uploaded
  • Catch up across devices — after your first backfill, LLMnesia notices when recent ChatGPT or Claude chats started on another device, browser, or profile aren't searchable here yet, and offers to pull them in
  • Welcome page: can now import from both ChatGPT and Claude — starting a ChatGPT import no longer greys out the Claude button (and vice versa), and the page no longer jumps to a "you can close this tab" state after the first import
  • Continue in: formatting is now preserved — continuing a conversation into another AI keeps paragraph breaks, bullet/numbered lists and code blocks instead of pasting one unbroken wall of text
  • Cleaner captured text — no "Show more/Show less" noise — ChatGPT's collapsible long-message toggle no longer leaks "Show moreShow less" into indexed messages or into conversations you continue elsewhere
  • Continue in: more conversation context reaches the target — per-turn text limits have been tripled (15 k for regular turns, 8 k for code-heavy turns) and the most recent turn now gets up to 50 k characters, so the last assistant response is no longer truncated mid-answer
  • Popup: clearer message on platform home screens — opening the popup on any supported site's home or new-chat page (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) now shows "Open a conversation to start indexing" instead of misleading "Indexed OK" or "Indexing failed" labels
v0.1.6

Index older chats, What's new strip in popup & 11 fixes

  • Index older chats — one-click indexing of your existing ChatGPT and Claude history into the search index. Runs invisibly in the background
  • What's new strip in popup — appears once after each extension update, links to llmnesia.com/changelog
  • Backup & Restore moved to full settings — export and import are now in the Settings page instead of the popup, giving them more room and removing the popup scrollbar
  • Backfill: progress pill now clears on completion — the pill's progress bar and count (e.g. "156/157") no longer stay stuck after a backfill finishes
  • Backfill nudge no longer fires while a run is in progress — the "index older chats" prompt now re-checks whether backfill started during the API sampling window before showing, preventing it from appearing mid-run
  • Backfill: Cancel button — popup and options now show a Cancel button alongside Pause/Resume when a backfill run is active, stopping the run entirely rather than just pausing it
  • Backfill progress in the pill — while a backfill run is active, the pill shows live progress ("Backfilling 42/150") with a fill bar
  • Backfill: stale chats get refreshed — conversations already in the index are now re-fetched during backfill if the platform API reports a newer modification date, so chats you've continued using since LLMnesia first indexed them get their updated content and correct dates
  • Backfill: imported chats now show their original dates — ChatGPT and Claude conversations indexed via backfill now carry the original creation and last-update dates from the platform API rather than today's date, so the search index reflects when chats actually happened
  • Backfill: conversations now actually get indexed on ChatGPT — three root causes fixed: (1) history discovery skipped the first batch of conversations (ChatGPT server-side renders the first page and returns empty for API offset=0)
  • Backup export saves as a single file — export now produces one .jsonl.gz file with a single save dialog instead of multiple small chunks
  • Backup export works reliably on large indexes — fixed a silent failure where exporting after a backfill run would error mid-way
  • Popup layout stable on open — conversation and message counts now render immediately as placeholders, preventing the Indexer Status panel from jumping once async data arrives
  • Popup search hint streamlined — replaced the three-line shortcut reminder box with a compact single-line hint, reducing popup height
v0.1.5

Welcome screen, activation badge & reliability fixes

  • Welcome screen — a friendly intro opens automatically when you first install LLMnesia
  • Activation badge — the extension badge lights up once you've indexed 10 conversations, so you know it's ready to use
  • Your email is remembered if you install LLMnesia in a second browser — no need to enter it again
  • "Open in" now sends cleaner conversation text to the target AI — internal notes, raw data dumps, and oversized code blocks are trimmed automatically
  • "Open in" now shows a helpful message instead of opening a blank tab when a conversation has nothing to export
  • "Open in" is hidden on AI Studio (not supported on that platform)
  • Fixed: clicking the save button on AI Studio now reliably saves the conversation
  • Fixed: "Open in" was missing AI responses for some platforms (especially DeepSeek) — full conversations now export correctly
v0.1.4

Search history, onboarding & reliability fixes

  • ↑/↓ arrow keys cycle through previous search queries from the search palette
  • History dropdown: click the clock icon to browse and re-run previous searches, with per-item removal
  • Guided onboarding flow for new installs
  • "Continue In" tooltip now has a clearer label
  • Fixed: search terms now save to history when the overlay closes before the debounce fires
  • Fixed: snippet save popup no longer reappears immediately after clicking ✕
  • Fixed: switching tabs in the palette now correctly filters/re-runs search
  • Fixed: search palette no longer stays open when clicking outside in Chrome
  • Fixed: Kimi, Qwen, and Mistral adapter reliability improvements
  • Fixed: email capture prompt no longer reappears on every overlay open after install
  • Beta: snippet saving — highlight text in any AI chat to save it for later
