Transfer your AI chat conversations between Cursor IDE workspaces and devices with an intuitive UI.

• Dedicated sidebar with clickable items
• Clear icons for each action (Export, Import, Local Transfer)
• Hover tooltips with descriptions

• Export all chats or select specific ones
• Auto-detects workspace by name and path
• Saves to .cursor-chat.json format
• Includes all messages and bubbles

• Import from exported files
• Safe merge (no overwrites)
• Auto-detects target workspace
• Preserves all chat data and conversation history

• Copy: Duplicate chats with new IDs (default) - fully independent copies
• Cut: Move chats from source to target workspace
• Ref: Link to existing chats (shared references)
• Auto-targets current workspace for convenience

1. Open the Cursor Chat Transfer view in the Activity Bar (left sidebar)

2. Click any action:

   • Export Chats → Save chats to file for backup or transfer
   • Import Chats → Load chats from exported file
   • Local Import → Copy/move between workspaces on the same machine

3. Follow the prompts to select workspaces and files

You can also access all features through the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P):

• Cursor Chat Transfer: Export Chats
• Cursor Chat Transfer: Import Chats
• Cursor Chat Transfer: Local Import (Move Chats)

After importing or moving chats, you MUST completely close and reopen Cursor IDE for the chats to appear. Simply reloading the window (Cmd/Ctrl+R) is not sufficient. Cursor loads chat data on startup, so a full restart is required to see the transferred conversations.

• Switch Devices: Moving to a new computer? Take your chat history with you
• Backup Important Conversations: Save your valuable AI interactions and code discussions
• Share Context: Transfer relevant chats to another workspace working on similar problems
• Workspace Organization: Reorganize chats across different project workspaces

Works seamlessly across platforms:

• Windows: %APPDATA%/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage
• Linux: ~/.config/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage
• Linux Remote/SSH: ~/.cursor-server/data/User/workspaceStorage
• WSL: /mnt/c/Users/<USER>/AppData/Roaming/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage

The extension shows workspace names and folder paths (not internal hashes) for easy identification.

• Cursor IDE with chat composer feature
• Node.js (for development only)

Technical Note: The extension reads Cursor's internal SQLite databases to access and transfer chat data while respecting the integrity of your workspace.
