Claude Cowork chats die when you close the app — uploads, files, context, gone. ClaudeLift exports any chat into a bundle you own, then resumes it anywhere via a built-in MCP server. Free, open source, Windows.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Gabe, and I built ClaudeLift because I kept losing my best work.
Every Claude Cowork chat runs in its own sandbox — the files you upload, the files Claude generates, the whole context. Close the app and none of it comes with you. One day I looked at 90+ chats full of SOPs, research, and generated docs I couldn't get out, and decided to fix it.
ClaudeLift exports any Cowork chat into a self-contained bundle you actually own:
• Rendered transcript in HTML, Markdown, JSON, or CSV
• Every upload and every generated file, in formats you can actually use
• Batch export, a bundle browser, and in-app transcript preview
The part I'm most excited about is resume. ClaudeLift ships a local MCP server (6 tools), so in Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop you can just type "pull the transcript of my SOP chat" and keep working right where you left off. There's also one-click seed-prompt resume, publish-to-Notion, and re-import to migrate chats to another machine or account.
It's free and open source — Windows today, with a single installer plus a one-click .mcpb extension for Claude Desktop.
One honest heads-up: the installer is signed with a dev certificate, so SmartScreen may ask you to click "More info → Run anyway." A proper CA cert is on the roadmap.
I'd love to hear how you'd use this — and which platform you want next. I'll be here all day answering every question. 🙏

finally something to stop losing entire conversations when claude cowork crashes mid-upload, the mcp server resume flow actually pulled my old context back in on the first try

As someone who loses track of long coding sessions way too often, this is genuinely useful. One thing that would make it even better would be a quick diff view between the original chat and the resumed one, so you can immediately see what context changed before you keep going.

finally something that solves the real pain of losing claude sessions every time i close the app. the export bundle idea is clever and the mcp resume part just works.
