History

History stores Fluent chats locally so you can reopen them later.

Use it to search older chats, continue a previous thread, or recover a useful result without recreating the same prompt and context from scratch.

In The Panel

Press Cmd+Y in the Smart Panel to open the History menu.

From there you can:

• Search previous chats
• Reopen a previous thread
• Continue work from an older result

Recent items are grouped by time, which makes same-day and same-week retrieval easy even before you search.

What It Stores

History keeps the Fluent conversation itself: prompts, replies, and follow-up structure.

This matters most when you work in several passes. You can return to the previous result, continue in a new follow-up tab, or review what Fluent already produced before asking for the next revision.

Privacy

History is stored locally as encrypted chat history.

If you do not want Fluent to keep chat history, turn it off in Settings → History. If you want the continuity but not long retention, keep History enabled and configure automatic cleanup.

Retention

Open Settings → History to configure retention.

The Automatically clean items setting supports:

• Never
• Older than 1 day
• Older than 1 week
• Older than 1 month
• Older than 3 months
• Older than 6 months
• Older than 1 year

Choose a shorter retention window if you only want short-term continuity. Leave it on Never if you want long-running searchable history.

Cleanup

The same settings page lets you:

• See current storage used
• Remove items older than a selected range
• Clear all history

This is separate from automatic retention. Use it when you want manual control.

Export And Import

History can be exported and imported from Settings → History.

Use export for backup or transfer. Use import to restore an existing History database.
