Never lose a
conversation.
ChatBack extracts, archives, and indexes your valuable chats from AI service providers like Google Gemini. We automate your GDPR Article 20 right to data portability in the AI space. Get your AI chats back - and backed up!
Your data.
Your machine.
Every Schlaben tool processes data exclusively on your hardware. Zero telemetry. Zero cloud storage. Engineered in Norway under full GDPR compliance.
Protect yourself against Data Loss
AI platforms are brilliant tools, but terrible filing cabinets. Your conversation history - containing chats, code, research, and analysis - is constantly at risk.
The 72-Hour Purge
If "Apps Activity" is disabled, Gemini silently deletes your conversations after 72 hours. There is no undo, no warning, and no recovery.
Google Takeout Fails
The official data liberation tool consistently fails on long threads. It truncates deep conversations, strips code formatting, and outputs unusable HTML.
Sidebar Sync Failures
Throughout 2026, widespread frontend faults rendered conversation indexes completely invisible. The UI simply stops showing your history when you need it most.
Tools that work for you
Every Schlaben product processes data locally on your hardware. Zero telemetry. Zero cloud uploads. Maximum performance.
Local by Design
Everything runs locally. ChatBack extracts data directly from your browser and exports it directly to your file system. No cloud uploads. Zero telemetry.
Format Freedom
Export to beautiful Markdown, PDF, or DOCX formats. We perfectly preserve your complex code blocks, LaTeX equations, and tables for downstream engineering workflows.
The GDPR Enforcer
Take back control of your knowledge graph. Automatically enforce your Article 20 Right to Data Portability and secure your data against sudden account bans or platform outages.
Offline Global Search
Search across all 500+ of your downloaded conversations instantly, entirely offline. Find that one buried code snippet or research reference—something the native web UI physically cannot do.
Complete Extraction
Gets the whole conversation, not just the end. ChatBack makes a thorough effort to secure that every single message is captured by defeating aggressive lazy-loading, reaching towards absolute data fidelity (see Terms of Service).
Your knowledge base, secured.
ChatBack isn't just for casual chat. It's engineered for power users who rely on AI for critical, high-value work.
Software Engineers
Archive architecture decisions and debugging sessions. Don't lose a 3-hour troubleshooting thread when the sidebar vanishes. Code blocks and syntax highlighting are perfectly preserved in Markdown.
Researchers & Academics
Protect months of literature synthesis and methodology design. We fully support LaTeX math rendering, preserving your complex formulas directly into DOCX and PDF formats.
Corporate Teams
Maintain strict audit trails for AI-assisted decisions. Turn transient chats into compliant, shareable DOCX files for due diligence, market analysis, and internal documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ChatBack collect my data?
The short version: ChatBack collects no data. Everything stays on your device. Period. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no cloud server. Your conversations are extracted locally and saved locally to a folder you choose.
Is it safe to log in to my Google account?
Yes. ChatBack never sees, stores, or transmits your password. You sign in directly on Google's own login page within a secure Chromium browser window. The session cookies are stored in an isolated, local .gemini-profile/ folder on your device.
Does this generate public links to my conversations?
No. ChatBack deliberately bypasses Gemini's native "Share Conversation" feature. We ensure that your corporate IP and sensitive research never generate a public URL. All extraction happens securely within your authenticated session.
What happens if Google changes their website?
Because ChatBack extracts data directly from the browser DOM, it operates on a "best-effort" basis. However, our multi-strategy extraction engine is built to adapt automatically. If a major UI overhaul breaks extraction, this is exactly why your Pro License includes 1 year of compatibility updates. We monitor the platforms and push fixes quickly.
