Convolvger 0.5.0: archive your AI conversations locally — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and now Grok
Every AI provider lets you share a conversation with a link. None of them lets you keep it. Share links rot, pages get redesigned, providers quietly change what a URL serves. Convolvger is a small CLI that takes a public share URL and archives the conversation into Markdown you can read and JSON you can verify — on your machine, with no account, no telemetry, and no LLM involved. 0.5.0 adds Grok…
Convolvger 0.5.0 is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that securely archives AI conversations from popular providers like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. This tool offers a solution to the common problem of sharing links to AI conversations that may rot, get redesigned, or be altered by the providers over time. By running locally, Convolvger ensures that the conversations are stored securely on your machine, without any account, telemetry, or involvement of large language models (LLMs).
Version 0.5.0 of Convolvger introduces support for Grok, bringing the total number of supported providers to four. The tool maintains the original conversational structure and metadata, such as citations, sender information, and reasoning traces, while ensuring content that cannot be modeled is flagged instead of silently dropped. Convolvger operates entirely offline, without impersonating browsers or relying on URLs it archives.
To use Convolvger, simply install it using Python 3.12+ with pip or pipx, then run the desired command with the share URL, such as "convolvger export https://grok.com/share/SHARE_ID". You can also verify the integrity of an archive with "convolvger verify mychat.json" or inspect an archive without saving it using "convolvger inspect https://chatgpt.com/share/SHARE_ID". Convolvger is MIT licensed and can be found on GitHub and PyPI.
