Your chats, organized

Every conversation in Krater saves automatically to your account the moment you send a message. Chats get a short title generated from their content and live in the sidebar, sorted by latest activity. Pin, rename, group into projects, share or delete them at any time.

The sidebar

• New chat starts a fresh conversation (Cmd/Ctrl + N).
• Pinned keeps your most-used chats at the top of the list.
• Projects group related chats under shared instructions and files (see below).
• Shared with you lists chats other people have shared with your account.
• Everything else sits under Chats, most recent first.

Manage a conversation

Open the ⋮ menu on any sidebar row (right-click works too), or the three-dot menu in the open chat’s header:

Titles generate automatically from your first messages, so a descriptive opener gives you a better title. Rename anytime.

Search everything (Cmd/Ctrl + K)

Press Cmd + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows/Linux), or click Search in the sidebar, to open the command palette. It searches across:

• Conversations: chat titles
• Messages: the text inside your chats
• Projects: project names
• Pages and help articles

From the palette:

• ↑ / ↓ to move, Enter to open, Esc to close
• Cmd + Enter opens a conversation in a new tab
• Type / for commands, > to jump to a page, ? to search help articles
• Can’t find it? Run Ask Krater to start a new chat with your query

Projects: folders with shared context

Projects group chats that belong together: a client, a trip, a research topic. Create one from a chat’s ⋮ menu → Move to project → New project, or from the Projects section in the sidebar.

Every project gets a name, icon and color, or pick a preset category like Work, Coding, Travel or Writing. Open a project to manage:

• Chats: every conversation filed under it
• Instructions: facts, context and preferences the AI follows in every chat inside the project
• Files: reference documents uploaded for context
• Description: what the project is for

From the project page you can ask a question across selected chats, or across all chats in the project. Useful for “what did we decide about X?”

Deleting a project deletes its instructions and files, but the chats inside are kept and moved back to your main list.

Share a conversation

Open ⋮ → Share on a sidebar row or in the chat header. Four ways to share:

Notes on public links:

• A public link is a snapshot. Update it from the same dialog to include newer messages.
• You can also share a single answer, which creates a public link that ends at that message.
• Turn a public link off anytime to revoke access.

Chats shared with you appear under Shared with you. As a participant you can pin the chat or leave it; renaming, deleting and settings stay with the owner.

Import and export

Moving to Krater from another AI? Settings → Data & Privacy → Import conversations accepts:

• ChatGPT: the .zip from Settings → Data controls → Export data
• Claude: the .zip from Settings → Privacy → Export data
• Gemini: a Google Takeout export (My Activity → Gemini Apps, JSON format)

Already-imported chats are skipped, so re-running an import is safe.

To take your data out, use Export all data on the same tab. It downloads all your conversations and data as JSON.

Keyboard shortcuts

Tips

• Write a descriptive first message; it drives the auto-title.
• Pin active chats, file finished ones into projects.
• Use project instructions for things every chat in that project should know (“always answer in German”, “this is the Acme account”).
• Public links are for read-only distribution; invite links are for people who should reply.
• More shortcuts in Keyboard Shortcuts. Files from your chats live in Krater Keep; org-wide sharing is covered by Teams.
