Select conversations for batch export

Open the Memories list in the popup or side panel, choose Select, tick the conversations you want, then use the Export menu to save them together as separate Markdown files, one merged Markdown document, Obsidian, Notion, or Google Docs.

The RecallBase popup Memories list in Select mode, showing a Done button, a 1 selected summary with All and None shortcuts, an Export button, and conversation cards with round checkboxes.
In Select mode, each saved conversation gets a checkbox and the summary bar offers All, None, and Export.

Where Select mode lives

Select mode is built into the Memories list — the saved conversations you captured earlier. You will find the Select button on the right of the Memories search row, both in the browser-action popup and in the Chrome or Edge side panel. The two surfaces share the same interface, so the steps below work identically in each. The button stays disabled when there is nothing to select.

Select the conversations you need

  1. 1

    Open the RecallBase popup or side panel and find the Memories list.

  2. 2

    Optionally search or filter first — Select mode works on the conversations currently matching your search and filters.

  3. 3

    Choose Select. The button turns into Done and every conversation card grows a round checkbox.

  4. 4

    Click conversation cards to tick or untick them, or use All and None in the summary bar to select everything that matches the current filter at once.

The summary bar shows how many conversations are selected. Choosing All selects every conversation in the current filtered result set, not only the ones visible on screen.

Export the selection

With at least one conversation selected, open the Export menu in the summary bar. Batch export offers five destinations: separate Markdown files (one file per conversation), a single merged Markdown document, a merged Obsidian note, a merged Notion page, or a merged Google Doc through Export Studio.

Choosing Done (or leaving Select mode) clears the selection, so export before you exit.

What Select mode cannot do

Select mode only exports. There is no batch delete, no batch merge inside Memories, and no batch PDF or image export — PDF and image stay per-conversation exports from the detail page or Export Studio. Without Select mode, the same Export menu acts on the full current result set instead of a hand-picked selection.

Batch export follows the same Free and Pro format limits as single-chat export — see the capability table.
