Export, import, and restore your Ophel backup data

Export your prompts, settings, and conversation metadata as JSON for safekeeping, import on another device, migrate from Gemini Voyager, or reset to defaults.

Ophel stores all your data locally in your browser. The backup and restore tools in Settings → Backup & Sync let you export that data as a JSON file for safekeeping, move it to another device, or wipe everything and start over.

Export a backup

Three export types are available. Choose the one that fits what you need to preserve:

Export type	What’s included
Full backup	Everything: settings, prompts, conversation metadata, folders, tags (and optionally Claude Session Keys)
Prompts only	Your prompt library
Settings only	All configuration items

Use Full backup before making any large configuration changes or before clearing your data. It’s the safest snapshot to fall back to.

Import a backup

Drag and drop a JSON file onto the import area, or click it to open a file picker. Ophel validates the file format before writing anything. Once the import is confirmed, the page refreshes automatically to apply the new configuration.

Importing overwrites your existing data. Export a backup of your current state before importing a file from another device or an older snapshot.

Import from Gemini Voyager

Gemini Voyager is a separate Gemini conversation management extension. If you have already organized your conversations into folders there, you can bring that folder structure into Ophel without losing your existing work.

1. Export from Gemini Voyager

   Inside Gemini Voyager, export your folder data. The file is in JSON format and the filename starts with gemini-voyager.folders.v1….

2. Copy the JSON contents

   Open the exported file and copy its entire contents to your clipboard.

3. Paste into Ophel

   In Ophel, go to Settings → Backup & Sync → Import from Gemini Voyager, paste the JSON into the input field, and click Start import.

4. Review the preview and confirm

   Ophel shows a preview of what will change — new folders added, conversations moved, and so on. Confirm to proceed.

This import must be run from a Gemini page. It uses your currently signed-in Gemini account to match conversations.

How the import works

Incremental merge

The import does not overwrite folders you have already organized in Ophel. Only conversations sitting in your inbox or in folders that were previously imported from Voyager will be re-categorized. Your own Ophel folders stay untouched.

Folder flattening

Gemini Voyager supports nested folders; Ophel does not. During import, nested folders are flattened into path-style names — for example, a folder called Work with a child Q2 becomes Work / Q2 in Ophel.

Gemini only

The Voyager import is specific to Gemini conversations. It will not import conversations from other AI platforms.

Clear all data

Settings → Backup & Sync → Clear all data deletes every piece of data Ophel has stored locally — prompts, conversation metadata, folders, tags, and all settings — and returns the extension to its initial install state.

This action is irreversible. Export a full backup before clearing if you want to preserve anything.
