Security Tip

For AI services, exported JSON files may contain your private information (such as phone numbers, API keys). Please ensure proper sanitization before uploading to third-party analysis tools.

Your data, your life.

Data Sovereignty

Every token, every conversation is an extension of your thoughts. They should not be locked away in any vendor's walled garden.

Offline Archive

The best backup is a local backup. We teach you how to transform cloud conversations into searchable, retrievable, and long-lasting offline documents.

Open Source & Transparent

All guides on this site are contributed by the community and completely open source. No commercial bias, only protecting your digital rights.
