Hi all, where is the chat history stored?
I love Cursor but I just changed PC, while working on a same project, same folder but chat history is gone.

Thanks!

Hopefully someone can give you a more satisfying/useful answer, but in previous posts on the topic of exporting chat history, I have seen this post referred to, which refers to a location where chat history is saved:

Their post announcing the repo is here:

For reference, the Cursor team have noted the ‘export chat history’ feature request:

Thanks a lot!
Would be great if a centralized/synced approach based on user account is implemented so Cursor usage is not dependent on a local workstation.
Are you aware if core team are working on anything similar?

I made a cursor chat log browser which lets you browse and download your logs.
