Where Continue stored your chat sessions

Continue is no longer maintained: its repository is read-only and its final releases came out in June 2026. If you used it, your history is still on disk.

#Where the files are

~/.continue/
├── sessions.json            # index of sessions
└── sessions/
    └── <sessionId>.json     # one file per session

On Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.continue\sessions. CONTINUE_GLOBAL_DIR moves it. The cn CLI uses the same folder.

Each session file holds a sessionId, title, workspaceDirectory, the history of messages with context items and tool call states, and usage with tokens and cost.

#Keep it before you move on

• The History page has Save Chat as Markdown for single chats.
• Copy the whole ~/.continue/sessions folder to keep everything.
• With the CLI: cn ls, cn --resume, cn --fork <id>.
