Amp works differently from the other agents here: threads live on Amp's servers, not on your machine. Every thread has a URL at ampcode.com/threads/T-<id>.

What is local

Only credentials and settings: ~/.local/share/amp/secrets.json and ~/.config/amp/settings.json. Amp's docs mention a local thread-history cache, but not where it is.

Manage threads

amp threads list
amp threads search <query>
amp threads continue <id>
amp threads share <id>
amp threads export <id>
amp threads markdown <id>
amp threads archive <id>
amp threads delete <id>

A thread can be private, shared with a workspace or group, or unlisted. Deleted threads are purged within 30 days.

Privacy notes

Amp stores threads in the US, with no self-hosted option. Check a thread's visibility before you paste anything sensitive.

The groundedby evaluator reads local files only, so it cannot count Amp threads.

Questions

Does Amp keep threads on my computer?+

No. Amp stores threads on its servers, and every thread has a URL. Local files hold only credentials and settings.

How do I export an Amp thread?+

amp threads export, or amp threads markdown for a Markdown copy. The thread's creator can export JSON.
