Copilot Chat Exporter

Deutsche Version

An IntelliJ plugin that lets you export your GitHub Copilot and Claude Code chat history to Markdown or styled HTML — directly from your IDE.

Features

Search

• Search across all sessions — find sessions by content, title, or message text in both tabs
• Boolean query syntax — AND, OR, exact phrases with quotes, and grouping with parentheses
• Scope toggles — search prompts, responses, and/or session titles independently
• Live filtering — sessions are filtered as you type with a match-count badge; matching messages are highlighted in the preview panel

GitHub Copilot

• Browse all Copilot chat sessions — inline chat, agent mode, and edit mode
• Select individual messages per session for partial exports
• Filter by IDE — show only sessions from the current JetBrains IDE, or toggle "All IDEs"

Claude Code

• Browse all Claude Code sessions from ~/.claude/projects/ — CLI, Claude Desktop, and JetBrains IDE sessions included
• Filter by project — narrow the session list to a specific project directory
• Toggle Tool Calls and Thinking blocks on/off (hidden by default)

Export

• Export to Markdown (.md) — clean, portable, paste-ready
• Export to HTML (.html) — fully styled with syntax-highlighted code blocks, opens directly in the IDE after export
• 10 built-in color themes for HTML output: Catppuccin Mocha, GitHub Dark, Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night, One Dark, Monokai Pro, Material Ocean, Solarized Dark, Light Classic
• Custom color profile — configure all HTML colors individually via the settings page
• Read-only access — no chat data is ever modified
