Advanced & quota
License
Paid plans use a license key to unlock full functionality (e.g. unlimited exports per your plan terms, Notion, etc.).
- Enter the key in the extension’s license panel
- Device limits follow your license terms (often a cap on simultaneous activations)
- Internet is required for activation and license checks
Free plan — monthly quota
On the FREE tier, exports are limited per calendar month (server timezone, typically Vietnam). Each month you get separate allowances for:
- Full conversation exports (entire thread)
- Single-message exports (one reply at a time)
The two counters are independent: using one type does not subtract from the other. At the start of a new month, counts reset.
Content processing
- Markdown and HTML from Claude’s UI
- Automatic detection of code blocks and tables
- Core formatting preserved for Word / PDF / Docs
