I wanted to query my own chat history but the JSON exports were a mess to work with. Built a small parser that turns them into clean SQL databases. Parsed 70k+ messages across multiple models. Useful for analyzing chat history, building a personal knowledge base, or archiving conversations. Simple CLI, open source.
