Show HN: Export your Character.AI chats in minutes – open-source, runs locally

Category: devtools

Tags: browser-extension, data-export, character-ai, privacy, json

Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

A browser extension that exports Character.AI chat history, characters, personas, and memory boxes to a local JSON file within minutes, sidestepping the official multi-week export process. It distinguishes itself with clear side-labeling of messages, inclusion of character definitions, partial-export resumability, and a strong privacy posture (no servers, no analytics, minimal permissions).

Target audience: Character.AI users wanting to back up or migrate their chats; privacy-conscious users
