Surfer Protocol is an open-source framework for exporting personal data from platforms like Gmail, iMessages, Twitter, Notion, and ChatGPT. It consists of a desktop app that scrapes and exports user data locally, plus a Python SDK for building applications on top of that exported data.
Use cases
- export my gmail messages to local files
- download my twitter bookmarks
- back up my chatgpt conversation history
- build an ai clone trained on my own messages
- reclaim my personal data from big tech platforms
- export imessage conversations
- leave a digital legacy of my online data
When to choose
- you want to export personal data from supported platforms to local storage
- you want to build apps on top of your own data via the Python SDK
- you prefer a GUI-driven export process rather than manual API wrangling
When to avoid
- you need a platform not yet supported by the exporters
- you need a fully supported, production-grade data pipeline with guarantees
- you want server-side or cloud-based export rather than local scraping
