# Chrome Extension

The BaseLayer Chrome extension automatically captures your conversations on Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenRouter, and Open WebUI.

## Install

1. Visit the [BaseLayer Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/baselayer-sovereign-memory/bhpchdhfjgecpnphpmpgmkeajefnhmdn) page
2. Click **Add to Chrome**

## Connect to BaseLayer

1. Click the BaseLayer extension icon in your Chrome toolbar
2. Click **Connect to BaseLayer**
3. You'll be taken to BaseLayer's connection page — sign in with your BaseLayer account to authorize
4. That's it. The extension is now connected and capturing

<Accordion title="Advanced: Manual API key setup">
  If you prefer to connect manually, you can create an API key at [baselayer.id/credentials](https://baselayer.id/credentials) and enter it in the extension popup. This is only needed for custom setups — the one-click connection above is recommended.
</Accordion>

## Supported sites

The extension captures conversations on:

* **claude.ai**: Anthropic's Claude
* **chatgpt.com**: OpenAI's ChatGPT
* **gemini.google.com**: Google's Gemini
* **openrouter.ai**: OpenRouter
* **Open WebUI** instances

## Verify it's working

Click the BaseLayer icon in your Chrome toolbar. You'll see:

* **Green dot**: capturing on this page
* **Gray dot**: not on a supported site
* **Red dot**: error (check the popup for details)

The popup also shows recent capture activity: the last few conversations and their timestamps.

## What gets captured

The extension captures the full conversation text: your messages and the AI's responses. This includes:

* Message content
* Conversation title
* Timestamps
* Which AI tool was used

It does **not** capture:

* Your browsing history on other sites
* Form inputs on non-AI sites
* Passwords or authentication tokens

## Privacy

<Note>All conversation data is encrypted before being sent to your memory. The extension uses AES-256-GCM encryption. Conversation data is encrypted in transit using AES-256-GCM.</Note>

## Troubleshooting

**Extension not capturing:**

* Check for the green status dot in the popup
* Try refreshing the AI page
* Make sure you're connected (click the extension icon to check)

**Extension not showing in toolbar:**

* Click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome → pin BaseLayer

**Conflicts with other extensions:**

* BaseLayer is designed to work alongside other extensions. If you experience issues, try disabling other extensions temporarily to identify conflicts.

<Tip>The extension also works in Chromium-based browsers: Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and Vivaldi.</Tip>
