AI Data Extractor

The short version: if you use more than one AI coding assistant, or you're worried about losing months of useful conversation history locked inside a proprietary local database, this is exactly the kind of small, focused utility that's worth having even though you'll only run it occasionally.

There's no direct competitor doing cross-tool extraction at this breadth — most AI coding tools either don't offer export at all or only export their own format, so the comparison here is really "do this or lose the data." Zero external dependencies and read-only database access are the right calls for a tool poking around other applications' private storage; it minimizes both the install friction and the risk of it breaking something. The trade-off is that heuristic-based extraction for undocumented formats means some tools' exports may be less reliable than others as those apps update their storage internals — a maintenance burden that falls on a single open-source maintainer. Worth installing preemptively if you use multiple AI coding assistants; less urgent if you've only ever used one and have no export need yet.
