Does DataMoat upload my AI history?
No. The vault, search flow, state, and supported attachments stay local. The website may call GitHub Releases for download metadata, but DataMoat is not a transcript cloud service.
FAQ
Questions people ask before backing up AI work history.
Which sources are supported?
DataMoat supports Claude CLI, Claude Desktop local-agent sessions, Codex CLI, Codex app local sessions, supported OpenClaw records, and supported Cursor agent transcripts.
Can it recover cloud-only chats?
No. DataMoat backs up supported local records that are already present on your device and accessible to you.
Why not just export plaintext?
Plaintext exports are easy to leak, alter, or lose. DataMoat keeps encrypted records and supports a tamper-evident audit chain.
Is the repo searchable on GitHub?
The public repo is max-ng/datamoat. Search aliases include DataMoat, data moat, and datamot.
What should I install first?
Use the macOS DMG on supported Macs, Windows ZIP packages on Windows, and source install on Linux or development machines.
