We get this question a lot! Each AI Code IDE stores chats in differing formats and locations. All are subject to change at anytime. We’re currently focused on making the best possible extension for Cursor.
Curious about the hype around the different AI code editors? Us too. That’s why we created the AI Editor Tracker to follow the sentiment.
In a nutshell, SpecStory allows you to save and share your AI conversation history. To do so it reads your local chat history directly from a sqlite3 database. This is located in different paths depending on your operating system:
-
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage\state.vscdb -
MacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb -
Linux:
~/.config/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb
For more detail about each SpecStory feature check out our feature page. For insight into what data we collect and access to deliver SpecStory look at our data privacy page.
Don’t be shy: we’d absolutely love to hear from you and promise to be extra responsive!

The extension is still in active development with rapid iterations. We’ve talked about this internally but have not made a decision.
We do strive to be as open as possible in terms of how it works, what data is accessed and stored and what our policy is.
Not today. We do not conduct write operations on the state.vscdb or the Shadow Workspace Cursor maintains.
You can @ reference these files to provide context to your AI though!
