Managing Your AI Conversations: History, Search & Export

Your Conversations, Your Data

Every conversation you have with MyLLM is stored locally in a Room database on your device. This isn't just a privacy feature — it's a powerful organizational tool. You can search, browse, export, and manage all your AI interactions.

Chat History Features

Search Across All Conversations

Lost that code snippet from last week? Can't remember the recipe the AI suggested? MyLLM's full-text search lets you find any message across all your conversations instantly.

The search works entirely offline using Room's built-in full-text search capabilities — fast, private, and reliable.

Conversation Organization

Each conversation is automatically timestamped and can be organized:

• Browse by date — See all conversations from a specific day or week
• Pin important chats — Keep frequently referenced conversations at the top
• Delete old chats — Clean up conversations you no longer need
• Conversation titles — Auto-generated titles based on the first message

Export Your Data

Your conversations belong to you. MyLLM makes it easy to export them:

• Individual chats — Export a single conversation as text
• Full history — Export everything for backup or migration
• Share snippets — Copy specific messages to share with others

How Storage Works

MyLLM uses Android's Room database for local storage:

• SQLite under the hood — Reliable, battle-tested database technology
• Encrypted at rest — Your conversations are protected by your device's encryption
• Automatic cleanup — Old model cache files are cleaned up to save space
• Minimal footprint — Text conversations take very little storage (a few MB for thousands of messages)

Storage Breakdown

Privacy of Stored Data

All conversation data stays on your device:

• No sync — Nothing is uploaded to any cloud service
• No backup to Google — Conversations aren't included in Android auto-backup
• Device encryption — Protected by your lock screen and device encryption
• Full deletion — When you delete a conversation, it's truly deleted from the database

Tips for Managing History

• Use descriptive first messages — The auto-title feature works best with clear opening messages
• Pin reference chats — Keep useful conversations (like code templates or instructions) pinned
• Export regularly — If you want backups, export periodically to your preferred storage
• Clean up large conversations — Very long conversations can slow down loading; start fresh when a topic changes
• Search first — Before asking the AI something again, search your history — you might already have the answer
