🚀 How It Works

graph LR
    A[Active AI Chat<br/>Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini / Perplexity] -->|1-Click Capture| B(MoveChat Extension)
    B -->|Stored Locally| C[Browser Local Storage<br/>chrome.storage.local]
    C -->|1-Click Resume| D[Target AI Platform<br/>ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini / Perplexity]
    C -->|Export| E[Markdown .md / PDF / JSON]

1. Capture: Click "Capture this session" in the MoveChat popup while viewing an active conversation. MoveChat safely reads the thread, extracting text, code blocks, images, and attachments.
2. Store: Conversations are saved locally on your device in structured JSON format. You can search, review, or organize your session library anytime.
3. Resume: Select any target AI platform and click "Resume in new chat". MoveChat automatically opens the target platform, populates the prompt, attaches your files/images, and lets you continue where you left off.
