Import Codex and Claude Code chats

Bring selected Codex or Claude Code conversations into a NotchPad project, follow new messages, and decide what agents can read.

Choose the conversation

  1. Open the project in the desktop workspace and click Connect an Agent.
  2. Pick Codex or Claude Code, choose the workspace where the conversation took place, and search for the chat. Use Preview if titles look alike.
  3. Select the conversations you need and click Add. Open Documents to read the imported chats.

The importer reads saved user and assistant messages. Tool logs and attachments are excluded. Opening a transcript in NotchPad leaves the original agent session in the client.

Choose a snapshot or follow the chat

Turn on Keep selected chats updated while NotchPad is running to pick up later messages from those same conversations. In Sources you can stop following a conversation and keep the messages already imported. To add a new chat, return to Connect an Agent and select it.

Share only the sources the task needs

Importing and sharing are separate. Choose the MCP sharing checkbox in the importer if you want the matching connected app to read the chat. You can also grant or revoke that app’s access under AI Connections → App permissions → Projects and Sources.

If a chat doesn’t appear, check the selected provider and workspace, refresh the list, and look for the session in the client that created it. If an agent can see the project but can’t read the transcript, check the grant for that individual source.
