Getting set up.

Four steps · about a minute

Install the app, add the browser extension, sign in once, and you are done. Here is each step, in order.

  1. Download and install

    Pick your platform.

    macOSApple Silicon · macOS 11+

    Run this in Terminal:

    brew install --cask context-move/tap/contextmove

    Then open Context Move from Applications.

    No Gatekeeper detour: the cask clears the quarantine flag as it installs.

    WindowsWindows 10 & 11 · 64-bit

    Grab the installer:

    Download for Windows

    Run it, follow the wizard, then open Context Move from the Start menu.

    If SmartScreen appears: More info → Run anyway.

  2. Add the browser extension

    Open the app and it takes you straight to the extension page. Click Add to browser, then pin it so you can see at a glance that it is connected.

    Works on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Copilot, Lovable and Replit.

  3. Sign in

    Head back to the app and log in. That links it with the extension. When it says connected, you are set up.

    Just the once. The session stays on your machine.

  4. Save your first conversation

    Open a chat on any supported site and click the save button the extension adds. The thread and its attachments land in Context Move, on your machine.

If something looks wrong

Five things people run into, and the fix for each.

Windows warned me about the installer

That is SmartScreen, and it appears for any installer it has not seen many times yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.

There is no save button on the chat page

Refresh the tab. The extension adds its button as a page loads, so a tab you already had open will not have one yet.

Saving fails, or the extension cannot connect

Check that the desktop app is running. The extension hands conversations to the app on your own machine, so with the app closed there is nothing listening.

The extension page never opened

You can open it yourself from the app’s welcome screen, any time.

I signed in but it still says not connected

Restart the app, then reload the chat tab so the extension picks up the new session.
