Backscroll

A commonplace book for the age of AI

You think out loud with AI all week.
Then it scrolls away.

Backscroll turns your ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini history into a searchable memory you actually own — so the thing you worked out three weeks ago is still there when you need it.

Bring your own export. No card. Your chats are never sold or used to train anything.

ask your history

what did I decide to charge for the app, and why?

You landed on $6/month with a 14-day trial and no card up front[1]. The reasoning: a price filters for people who actually have the problem, and free users rarely convert later[2]. You also noted you'd send trial reminders on day 11 and day 14[1].

Grounded in your own words, with links back to the exact conversation. It never makes things up.

Three steps, then it's just there

  1. 01

    Bring your export

    Download your data from ChatGPT or Claude and drop the file in. Nothing is scraped — you bring it.

  2. 02

    It becomes a memory

    We parse every thread, read it for meaning, and index it. Keyword and meaning both work from the first second.

  3. 03

    Find anything again

    Search by what you meant. Ask a question and get a grounded answer. Keep the prompts, decisions, and snippets worth reusing.

One book for every assistant.

ChatGPT will never let you search your Claude history. Gemini won't show you what you asked ChatGPT. Backscroll is the one place they all live together — because the memory should belong to you, not to whichever model you happened to use.

The deal

Your history is yours

  • · Every row is locked to your account at the database level. No one else can read it.
  • · We never sell your chats and never use them to train models.
  • · Meaning is computed on our own infrastructure, not shipped to a third-party AI.
  • · One button deletes everything, for good, whenever you want.

Stop losing what you figured out.
