Find a session
Search and filter the list of all sessions in a backup, and use the menus of the pages.
The first page of a backup is index.html in the backup folder. It lists every session from every app.
Read the list
The list shows the newest sessions first, in groups by day. Each session has one line with the title, the folder, the app and the time.
- Click the title to open the session.
- Click Show details next to a day to see the start of the first message and the tags of each session.
- Click a folder, an app or a tag to show only the sessions that have it. Click it again to show all sessions.
Search
Type words in the search box. The list then shows only the sessions that have these words in the title, in the folder, or in the start of the conversation.
Filter the list
Five filters are above the list. You can use more than one filter, and you can use them together with the search box. Reset clears all the filters and the search.

|---|---|
| App | Claude Code, Codex or Claude desktop. |
| Folder | The project folder of the session. Type a part of the path, or choose a folder from the list. |
