Chat2Note

Chat2Note is a local-first browser extension for exporting AI chat conversations into Markdown, JSON, TXT, and note tools.

This repository is the initial public OSS release of the extension core. It keeps the chat parsers, export pipeline, and user-managed integrations, while removing commercial feature gating and private backend dependencies.

What it can do

• Export conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Kimi, Doubao, Yuanbao, and Grok
• Export to local files, clipboard, Notion, Obsidian, SiYuan, and Joplin
• Support Markdown, JSON, and TXT output
• Select messages, include metadata, and customize Markdown templates
• Store user-supplied Notion and Joplin credentials locally in browser storage

OSS release scope

• Included: extension core, parsers, export logic, settings UI, localization files, tests, and build scripts
• Removed: membership gating, upgrade prompts, commercial backend configuration, marketing pages, and private deployment details

Install for testing

Firefox

• Built package: .output/chat2note-0.1.0-firefox.zip
• Unpacked build directory: .output/firefox-mv2

• Load the generated .output/chrome-mv3 directory as an unpacked extension

Release

• GitHub Actions release workflow lives in .github/workflows/release.yml
• Create and push a tag that matches package.json version, for example v0.1.0
• The workflow will run checks, build Chromium and Firefox packages, and publish a GitHub Release with both zip files

git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0

Notes

• wxt.config.ts targets both Chrome and Firefox builds.
• Settings import and export still support excluding sensitive tokens.
• This public repository is focused on the extension itself, not the previously private commercial stack.
