Kept is a local-first knowledge manager that saves AI conversations as Markdown files and gives users a desktop app for searching, browsing, connecting and reusing them. It supports conversation archives from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Kimi, storing data under a local vault with SQLite full-text search, topic views, project organization, graph views and an MCP server. Kept is useful for power users, researchers, developers and teams whose chat histories contain debugging trails, product decisions, prompt patterns and half-finished ideas that otherwise stay trapped in vendor UIs. It is notable now because AI chat history is becoming practical working memory, and Kept turns that history into portable local files that agents can reuse.
