Install the browser extension

Step 1: Install

The public Chrome and Firefox listings are being finalized. Until they are live, use the download page for the current install path.

Step 2: Pin RecallBase

Pinning the extension keeps the popup one click away while you are reading an AI conversation.

1. 1

   Click your browser's Extensions icon.

2. 2

   Find RecallBase.

3. 3

   Click the pin icon so RecallBase stays visible in the toolbar.

Step 3: Save or export your first chat

Open a supported conversation page. RecallBase should show save and export actions in places that are easy to reach.

1. 1

   Open a supported AI conversation.

2. 2

   Open the RecallBase extension popup.

3. 3

   Use a quick action such as Markdown, PDF, Word, Image, Text, Copy Markdown, Copy Image, Obsidian, or Notion.

4. 4

   Open Export Studio if you want to preview or choose messages first.

5. 5

   Keep the saved item in browser storage or export it to a file or app you choose.

Where export buttons appear

You can export from the popup, the floating button on the AI page, the browser right-click menu, or Export Studio. If you are not sure which one to use, start with the popup.

1. 1

   Popup: best for beginners and saved chats.

2. 2

   Floating button: fastest while reading the current chat.

3. 3

   Right-click menu: useful when the floating button is hidden.

4. 4

   Export Studio: best when you want to preview, pick messages, copy, or change layout.

Permissions

Site permissions let the extension recognize supported AI conversation pages and run explicit save/export actions. Account and Pro checks use RecallBase account endpoints, but they do not send conversation text to the website.

Before uninstalling

Export anything important before uninstalling. Browser extension storage can be removed with the extension.

How to verify the extension is ready

A clean install should give you three visible signals: the toolbar icon is available, the popup opens without an account requirement, and a supported conversation page shows save or export actions after the chat content has loaded. If you only see an unsupported state, confirm that you are on an actual conversation URL rather than a product home page, model picker, search screen, settings page, or billing page.

1. 1

   Pin RecallBase to the toolbar.

2. 2

   Open a supported conversation with visible messages.

3. 3

   Open the popup and confirm current-chat actions appear.

4. 4

   Try Markdown first because it is the simplest local export path.

Permission model

The extension needs browser permissions so it can recognize supported AI conversation pages and run explicit save or export actions. Those permissions are not a reason to send prompt text, answers, raw DOM, cookies, tokens, local file paths, or screenshots to the RecallBase website. Account and Pro endpoints handle identity and plan status only.
