Export

Pi Session Manager supports exporting sessions in three formats, making it easy to share, archive, or process your AI conversations.

Formats

HTML

Generates a self-contained HTML file using Pi's native template. The exported file includes:

• Full conversation with syntax-highlighted code blocks
• Collapsible tool calls and thinking blocks
• Embedded styles (no external dependencies)
• Session metadata (model, timestamps, message count)

Press Cmd/Ctrl + E to export the current session and open it in your default browser.

Markdown

Exports the conversation as a clean Markdown document:

# Session: my-coding-session

## User
Can you fix the bug in auth.rs?

## Assistant
Looking at the code...

### Tool Call: read
**File:** src/auth.rs
...

Useful for pasting into documentation, GitHub issues, or note-taking apps.

JSON

Raw structured export of the session data:

{
  "session_id": "abc123",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Can you fix the bug in auth.rs?"
    },
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "Looking at the code..."
    }
  ]
}

Ideal for programmatic processing, analytics, or feeding into other tools.

Batch Export

Select multiple sessions in the browser and export them all at once. The export dialog lets you choose the format and output location.

Export Dialog

The export dialog (Cmd/Ctrl + E or right-click → Export) provides:

• Format selection (HTML / Markdown / JSON)
• Preview of the export
• One-click open in browser (HTML format)

API Export

You can also export sessions programmatically via the API:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:52131/api \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"command":"export_session","payload":{"path":"/path/to/session.jsonl","format":"markdown"}}'
