Open the **Cursor Chat Transfer** view in the Activity Bar (left sidebar)\n2. Click any action:\n   - **Export Chats** → Save chats to file for backup or transfer\n   - **Import Chats** → Load chats from exported file\n\n3. Follow the prompts to select workspaces and files\n\n### Alternative: Command Palette\n\nYou can also access all features through the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P):\n- `Cursor Chat Transfer: Export Chats`\n- `Cursor Chat Transfer: Import Chats`\n\n## Important\n\n**After importing 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.\n\n## Why Use This?\n\n- **Switch Devices**: Moving to a new computer? Take your chat history with you\n- **Backup Important Conversations**: Save your valuable AI interactions and code discussions\n- **Share Context**: Transfer relevant chats to another workspace working on similar problems\n- **Workspace Organization**: Reorganize chats across different project workspaces\n\n## Auto-Detection\n\nWorks seamlessly across platforms:\n- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage`\n- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage`\n- **Linux**: `~/.config/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage`\n- **Linux Remote/SSH**: `~/.cursor-server/data/User/workspaceStorage`\n- **WSL**: `/mnt/c/Users/\u003cUSER\u003e/AppData/Roaming/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage`\n\nThe extension shows workspace names and folder paths (not internal hashes) for easy identification.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Large Databases\nIf your global database is very large and export feels slow, try:\n1. **Clear old chat history** in Cursor settings\n2. **Export specific chats** instead of all at once\n3. **Delete old workspace folders** in Cursor's `workspaceStorage` directory\n\n### sqlite3 Required\nThis extension requires `sqlite3` CLI to be installed for all database operations (read and write). It's usually pre-installed on:\n- **Linux**: Most distributions\n- **macOS**: Pre-installed\n\n**Windows Installation:**\n1. Download `sqlite-tools-win-x64-*.zip` from [sqlite.org](https://sqlite.org/download.html)\n2. Extract `sqlite3.exe` to one of these locations (the extension will auto-detect):\n   - `C:\\sqlite3\\sqlite3.exe` (recommended)\n   - `C:\\Program Files\\sqlite3\\sqlite3.exe`\n   - Any directory in your system PATH\n3. Alternatively, install via package manager:\n   - **Chocolatey**: `choco install sqlite`\n   - **Scoop**: `scoop install sqlite`\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Cursor IDE with chat composer feature\n- `sqlite3` CLI (pre-installed on Linux/macOS, see above for Windows)\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n\n---\n\n*Technical Note: The extension uses the system `sqlite3` CLI for both reading and writing, which handles WAL mode databases while Cursor is running.*\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fibrahim317%2Fcursor-chat-transfer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fibrahim317%2Fcursor-chat-transfer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fibrahim317%2Fcursor-chat-transfer/lists"}
