Introduction

ChatLab is a free, open-source, local-first chat analysis app.

In the digital era, chat histories are no longer just plain text. They carry a decade of social connections, precious voice notes from loved ones, and serve as the emotional memory we keep in the digital world.

ChatLab exists to help every user safely analyze and revisit their own social memories.

How to use

To analyze your chat history, you only need two steps:

  1. Export your chat records
  2. Import your chat records

Since each app exports differently, see Export Chat Records for detailed steps.

Next steps

If you run into import or AI issues, check Troubleshooting.

If your exported format isn't supported yet, see the AI Conversion Guide.

If you're a developer who supports exporting from other chat apps, you're welcome to align with the Chat Data Exchange Standard.
