gulaq
Your browser workspace and AI conversation vault.
Save browser sessions. Capture AI chats from 5 platforms. Search everything locally. Full ownership. No limit.
System Architecture
Open architecture. Closed to the cloud.
Every component runs locally. From capture to storage, nothing leaves your machine.
Three Phases
One tool. Complete control.
Workspace Manager
Snapshot your entire browser context — windows, tabs, tab groups, pinned states, and window geometry. Restore with one click. Manage up to 500 workspaces × 500 tabs.
- ✓Save current window, all windows, or single tab
- ✓Restore in new window or merge into current
- ✓Tab groups with color & collapse state preserved
- ✓Window geometry (size, position, maximized)
- ✓Preview workspace before restoring
- ✓Save & Close to free RAM without losing context
AI Chat Vault
Capture full AI conversations from 5 platforms and store them in browser-local storage. Search, filter, rename, export, and re-use past conversations instantly.
- ✓ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot
- ✓Quick, Guided, and Auto capture modes
- ✓0–100 completeness scoring per capture
- ✓Export to JSON or Markdown
- ✓Transfer prompts to re-use in any AI
- ✓Attach chats to workspaces
Desktop Vault
Unlimited local storage via a Rust native host and Tauri desktop app. SQLite WAL + FTS5 full-text search. Backups, atomic writes — all 100% offline.
- ✓SSD-backed SQLite vault (50,000+ chats tested)
- ✓FTS5 full-text search with snippets and ranking
- ✓ZIP backups with point-in-time snapshots
- ✓Offline queue with automatic FIFO replay
- ✓Workspace bundles (export workspace + chats)
- ✓Atomic writes: temp → fsync → rename
Security Model
Privacy isn’t a feature. It’s the architecture.
6 Chrome Permissions Only
tabs, tabGroups, windows, storage, clipboardWrite, nativeMessaging. No broad host permissions. No webRequest.
Zero Outbound Requests
The vault makes no network calls. Your conversations never touch the internet.
No Cookie Capture
Technically impossible by design — missing permissions prevent any auth token or cookie access.
XSS Prevention Built-In
All user strings HTML-escaped. contentHtml stripped before native messaging and disk write.
Scoped Content Scripts
Content scripts run only on 6 supported AI platform origins — explicit allowlist, nothing broader.
Source of Truth on Disk
The SSD vault is authoritative. chrome.storage.local is only a write-through fallback cache.
