The Session Library is a dashboard that appears on the “New Chat” screens of supported AI platforms (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini). It allows you to quickly see which conversations have been successfully synced to your local MemoryBox database.
Key Features
The library acts as a bridge to your local history, providing several tools to manage your active sessions:
You can filter your history to show sessions from all platforms or specific ones:
- All: Shows every synced session in chronological order.
- ChatGPT / Gemini / Claude: Filters the list to show only memories captured on that specific platform.
Each entry in the library provides critical context at a glance:
- Session Title: The human-readable name of the chat (e.g., “Prime Rib Preferences”).
- Unique ID: The specific chat identifier (e.g.,
chatgpt-69bdbd56...) for technical tracking.
- Timestamp: The exact date and time the last memory was synced for that session.
- Refresh Icon: Manually force the library to pull the latest session list from your Desktop App.
- Collapse/Expand: Use the arrow in the top-right to hide the library when you want a clean “New Chat” interface.
Why Use the Session Library?
The library ensures that your “context” follows you. If you start a conversation about a specific project on your work computer and then switch to another machine (with the same local database), the Session Library helps you identify exactly which threads have been “remembered” by the system.
Troubleshooting Visibility
If the Session Library does not appear on your “New Chat” screen:
- Open the Browser Action Pop-up.
- Ensure the Show session library toggle is switched ON.
- Verify your Backend Link is green. The library cannot load sessions if the Desktop App is disconnected.
The “Steak Test” (Prime Rib Preferences): As seen in the screenshot, the library is excellent for verifying that specific preferences (like how you like your prime rib) have been successfully committed to memory for future AI retrieval.
