Cursor Convo Export

The value here is small, specific, and real. Cursor's chat panel is where a lot of people do their actual thinking — deployment steps, architectural reasoning, trade-off discussions — and when that thread freezes, the work is stranded. Copy-pasting out of the IDE chat window is genuinely unreliable, which the author says outright on the store listing. This extension replaces that copy-paste with a command: 'Cursor: Export Chat History' opens the thread in a new window or writes a timestamped .md or .html file, timestamps and structure intact. That last detail is what separates it from a manual dump — you can re-read the archive months later and still follow the back-and-forth. Strengths: one-command operation, status-bar shortcut for repeat use, choice of most-recent or a specific chat from history, Markdown and HTML output, and a lightweight install (drop the .vsix onto the extension list; no dependencies). Weaknesses are documented by buyers on the listing itself. One reviewer wanted bulk export — everything in a given project or workspace — which the extension does not do. Another reported that on Windows 11 with a remote Ubuntu host over SSH, the export fails outright with 'state.vscdb not found in global storage'. Because the tool reads Cursor's local global storage, remote sessions are a genuine dead end rather than a config problem. It is also Cursor-only by design; the author flags that it does not work in VS Code. Where it fits: individual Cursor users who want a durable record of important AI conversations, and anyone who needs to restart a jammed thread by carrying context into a fresh one. Where it doesn't: teams wanting shared archives, anyone needing cloud sync, and remote-SSH-first workflows. Pricing is a one-time €7 purchase through Gumroad (listed at €7+, with the storefront showing the product is not currently for sale at the time of this scrape).
