ChatKeeper 1.1.1
January 5, 2025
🤕 Heads up as of June 22, 2026
You probably don’t want the version below and should download this version instead.
OpenAI recently changed the ChatGPT export format, which can cause errors in the latest official ChatKeeper release. An Adventure Build that eliminates these errors is available now. Additional work is in progress to handle other changes in the format. Stay tuned!
Send me an email for a one-time notification when a new official release is ready.
A quick followup to 1.1.0 that adds:
- Improved detection and error handling for corrupted ChatGPT export (.zip) files. A recent change has made these files much larger, and an interrupted download makes it impossible to open them.
- Improved error handling for unexpected conversation data. As ChatGPT keeps adding features, more new things keep appearing in the exports. ChatKeeper will keep up with these over time, but this change prevents them from stopping all processing, and lets ChatKeeper continue with other conversations.
This builds on:
v1.1.0 (December 16, 2024) - Just in time for the holidays, OpenAI has resolved their chat export issue, I was able to complete testing, and 1.1.0 is now available with these goodies:
- Support for ChatGPT’s Canvas feature: You can now save and manage your Canvas sessions with ChatKeeper. Please note that there are some known issues with ChatGPT’s export format for Canvas chats. I’ve reported these to OpenAI and implemented workarounds where possible.
- Support for ChatGPT’s Search feature: ChatKeeper now formats ChatGPT’s search summaries and sources in Markdown.
- Native Apple Silicon Support: ChatKeeper now runs natively on Apple Silicon (m1/m2/m3/m4). No more need for Rosetta complications.
- Official Homebrew Installer: Mac users now have an easy way to install and update on their systems. The correct binary will be automatically installed for your platform.
- Conversation Index by Start Date: A new index document organizes your conversations by their start dates for another navigation option (in addition to the previously existing index by last activity).
- Numbered Conversation Turns: Conversation “turns” now have numbered Markdown headings in order to enable linking to specific messages within conversations.
- Version Information Display: The ChatKeeper version is now included in both YAML front matter and in more user messages in both Markdown and the CLI.
