Bandofy-AI :: Export Studio

An offline, local-only ChatGPT export explorer + transformer.

You point it at an official ChatGPT export ZIP (must include conversations.json), and it gives you:

• A cyberpunk-dark GUI for browsing and searching your history
• SQLite storage + FTS search (fast)
• Exports:
  • Markdown (per conversation)
  • Messages JSONL (all messages)
  • Training pairs JSONL (user → assistant)
  • Obsidian vault export (all conversations)
• Optional PII redaction on exports

Notes

• No network calls: This is intended to run fully offline.
• The parser supports the typical official export structure; if your export differs, open an issue and attach the schema (not your private content).
