Back up everything in one click
On the Backup tab, press Back up all my Claude chats. Every chat is saved to your computer in one zip, with every version.
Your first full backup is free. Pro ($4.99 once) lets you back up any time and adds automatic daily backup.
Good to know
Where do my files go?
To your browser's Downloads folder, like any other download. Backups are a single zip with one .md file per chat.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Backtrack runs in your browser and saves straight to your computer. There's no account and no Backtrack server. The only network calls are to claude.ai and the Pro license check.
How do I get Pro?
Click Get Pro in the Backtrack panel whenever a Pro feature comes up. It's $4.99 once, no subscription, no account.
