Release history

What changed in every version. A zip install does not update itself — get the latest build on the install page. Since October 31, 2026 Chatsavo is free, all of it. Versions 0.1.x still had a trial and limits; 0.2.5 does not.

  1. 0.3.6
    • “AI brief”: one button on a project card opens its latest chat with a request in the message box — the AI you worked with writes the brief itself: goal, done, decisions, open bugs, next step. Chatsavo keeps the answer, and “Move to…” hands exactly that to the next AI.
  2. 0.3.5
    • “Working on now” at the top of the panel: up to four projects you touched last, with the AIs they run in. Click opens the project’s latest chat; the button next to it moves the project to another AI.
    • New chats find their folder by title: “WorkSavo v71 development” goes straight to WorkSavo. Take a chat out by hand and it stays out; switch off in “Tidy up”.
  3. 0.3.4
    • A calm panel: projects you worked on last come first; projects idle for two weeks fold into “Quiet projects”.
    • Priorities: pin an important project to the top (folder menu → “Pin”) — it never folds away.
    • Next to “Folders”, “Tidy up” shows how many chats can be filed right now.
    • Folders by activity or in your own order — a switch in the “Folders” header.
  4. 0.3.3
    • “Tidy up” — one button: Chatsavo proposes where to file unfiled chats (by the AI site’s projects, by a folder name in the title, by similarity to chats already filed), merges same-named folders and removes empty ones. You see the plan with a reason for every chat and can untick anything; afterwards one button undoes it, keeping changes you made since.
  5. 0.3.2
    • Grok: chats inside projects are now searchable by text — their messages arrive with the page, and Chatsavo reads them from the screen.
    • Search: result snippets no longer show markup like **bold** — just the text.
  6. 0.3.1
    • ChatGPT: chat text is searchable again — the site now loads conversations in pages in a new format, and Chatsavo reads and joins them.
    • Claude: the chat list is saved again after the site changed its address, and the open chat’s text is read from the page, since Claude no longer sends it in the old form.
    • Grok: the project name comes from the chat itself, so Grok project chats also land in the shared project folder.
  7. 0.3.0
    • Projects across AIs: same-named ChatGPT, Claude and Grok projects come together in one folder. Settings show each project — where you worked last and a “Move to…” button that prepares a summary for another AI and opens it.
    • Order without a pile of folders: “Chat-Savo” and “chatsavo” are one project; move a project chat into your own folder and the whole project follows, while the extra folder goes away.
    • History import from the official ChatGPT and Claude export — search finds old chats right away.
    • “Save to Chatsavo”: select text in an AI answer and keep it in one click, linked to its chat.
    • Beta: everything is free until 31 December 2026, and everything available today stays free.
  8. 0.2.16
    • The script on AI sites is about 5 KB lighter, so the panel appears sooner and weighs less on the page.
    • The extension description in the browser says plainly which sites are supported and which are in testing.
    • Perplexity: messages in threads without their own ids no longer get mixed up.
    • The install page and the permissions list explain the timer and notifications: they are only for your reminders.
  9. 0.2.15
    • Free public beta: every feature is free.
    • The UI says: “Free beta. Additional paid features may appear in the future.”
    • The plan architecture is kept — payment can be restored later without a rewrite.
  10. 0.2.14
    • The Cmd/Ctrl+K palette now searches chats and shows hits.
    • Reminders show the text in the notification.
    • Similar chats put several titles into search.
  11. 0.2.13
    • Command palette on Cmd/Ctrl+K: search, new folder, scope, settings.
    • Reminders on a chat or folder (local notifications).
    • Prompt variables: {{name}} is filled when you copy.
    • Folder cards and import folders from a list.
  12. 0.2.12
    • Archive: a chat can be hidden from the normal lists and restored from the Archive section.
    • Similar chats — by overlapping words in the title, locally.
    • A folder summary downloads as Markdown: titles and the first message of each chat.
  13. 0.2.11
    • The chat “…” menu now has “Continue in…” (opens another site and copies a continuation prompt) and “Rename”.
    • Cmd/Ctrl+K focuses the panel search.
  14. 0.2.10
    • The panel is on DeepSeek and Perplexity. Support is in testing: a chat appears when you open it, or when its link is visible in the site’s sidebar.
    • DeepSeek’s list is captured from known site responses; Perplexity relies first on the list and the open chat.
    • The site name no longer lands in the chat title. The empty panel says what to do next.
  15. 0.2.9
    • Auto-file: a word in the title or in your first message files a new chat on its own. A chat you filed by hand is not moved. Chats already saved can be filed from Settings.
    • A prompt can be edited and marked as a favorite. Favorites rank first in the “/” list.
    • A selection of chats can be pinned together.
    • Replies the site loads with XHR, not fetch, are saved too. That is how Gemini’s chat list usually arrives.
    • Sync now also includes auto-file rules. Chat texts and titles are still not included.
  16. 0.2.8
    • A chat’s “…” menu can set tags. Search them as tag:name. A new tag can be added there or in Settings.
    • A bookmark remembers the chat and, when you found a message, its id. The message text is not copied into the bookmark.
    • One chat, or several selected chats, download as Markdown. Settings can download the 20 most recent chats with an Obsidian header.
    • A chain is several of your prompts, in order. Typing / in the chat box inserts them one after another so you can send them in turn.
    • Browser sync now also carries tags, bookmarks and chains. Still no chat texts or titles, encrypted on your computer. Deleting something on one computer does not delete it on the other.
  17. 0.2.7
    • Prompts stay in the browser. Type / in the chat box, then use the arrow keys and Enter to insert one. {{name|fill}} is filled in.
    • Select several chats in the panel and file them together. Dragging the selection works too.
    • Settings can import JSON of folders and links (Sortbase / Easy Folders and similar files). Text in the file is not read.
    • Folders, chat placement and prompts can be encrypted with a passphrase into the browser’s sync storage. Chat texts and titles are not included, and the Chatsavo server never sees them. A chat that is not on the second computer yet is filed when it shows up.
    • On Gemini, Grok and Alice, chats in the site’s sidebar are remembered from the link and a short title. Alice still has no separate chat list, and support for these three sites is still in testing.
  18. 0.2.6
    • A Gemini chat under an account path /u/1/ opens in a new tab, not only in the current one.
    • Turning a site off in Settings stops the extension from keeping that page’s reply text.
    • An empty search says so: message text is found only in chats opened after install.
    • After install, Settings has buttons to open ChatGPT and Claude.
  19. 0.2.5
    • The trial and the limits are gone: unlimited nested folders, full-text search and filters, every supported site. There is nothing to pay and no way to pay.
    • Updating from 0.1.x deletes the old trial record, both in extension storage and in the browser’s sync storage.
    • The alarms permission is removed: the extension no longer wakes to check a license, and it sends nothing.
    • The panel also appears on Gemini, Grok and Alice. Those three are still in testing; ChatGPT and Claude are unchanged.
    • Settings shows the version and a link to the latest build. Updates are still manual: download the zip and load the folder again. Download the JSON before you remove the extension.
  20. 0.1.1
    • You can restore a backup (JSON up to 25 MB) in Settings: Chatsavo checks the file first and shows what is in it. Restore works while the extension has no data yet.
    • Folders and pins are no longer lost when a chat was being saved at the same moment; the panel no longer hangs or repeats an action after a connection glitch.
    • Improved exact phrases, filter-only searches, code identifier parts, and Enter navigation to matching messages.
    • Chatsavo starts more reliably in Firefox and takes less space: old duplicate copies of texts are removed.
    • Clearer error messages; the install page is easier to use on a phone.
  21. 0.1.0
    • First early version: the Chatsavo panel on ChatGPT and Claude.
    • Folders (in that version, nesting up to 5 levels was Pro only), Pinned, No folder and Recent.
    • Drag a chat from the site’s list straight into a folder, plus a “Move to…” button on hover.
    • Full-text search with Russian morphology, typos, phrases and filters; jump to the found message.
    • Dark theme that follows the site, Alt+Shift+F shortcut.
    • Download all your data in one file and wipe everything from settings.
    • 7 days of Pro free, no card (this early version’s limits are removed in 0.2.5).
