107107 
108Chat conversations are stored on the local device, in the same per-session layout as Cowork sessions: conversation history, attachment copies, scratch outputs, and a tamper-evident audit log, all under the application-data directory. Nothing is synced to a server, and there is no server-side index of past conversations. See [Chat conversations](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/data-storage.md#chat-conversations) on the data-storage page for the breakdown.
