# Will I lose my chats if I stop using Zoltbot?

*Updated 6 November 2026. Canonical: https://zoltbot.ai/answers/will-i-lose-my-chats*

**Short answer:** No: each tool's own session store holds the conversation, and Zoltbot keeps only an index that points to it. If you stop using Zoltbot, the conversations are still where Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity keep them.

## What Zoltbot stores

Zoltbot is local first. Your projects, tasks and the index of conversations live on your computer, and secrets live in your OS keychain. Zoltbot never writes into a tool's session store directly. It creates and resumes sessions only through each tool's own CLI.

That is also why resuming is cheap: Zoltbot reopens the tool's own session and never rebuilds or resends the history, so the tool's prompt caching and compaction keep working.

## Where the conversations live

Each tool keeps its own. Claude Code saves sessions locally as you work and ties each to the folder it ran in, and `claude --resume` reopens them. Codex keeps local chats you can reopen with `codex resume`. Cursor's CLI lists past chats with `agent ls`.
