Import Sources
MemryLab supports 30+ platforms. Just drop a file, folder, or ZIP — the format is auto-detected.
How to Import
- Click Import on the sidebar
- Select a file, folder, or ZIP archive from your computer
- MemryLab auto-detects the source type and parses entries
- Review the import summary and confirm
ZIP files are extracted to a temporary folder on your device. The original archive is never modified.

Documents, Email and Photos
Beyond the platform exports above, MemryLab reads the files it finds in a folder or ZIP:
- PDF, DOCX, PPTX and XLSX: the text of each document (Word headers and footers, slide speaker notes, spreadsheet cells).
- Email (.eml): sender, recipients, subject, date and body text.
- Photos (EXIF): the date taken, GPS location, camera and lens, which become timeline entries. If you run a
llavamodel in Ollama, images can also be described by AI. - Everything else: 40+ other text formats (RTF, XML, YAML, TOML, subtitles and more) go through a generic adapter, and a folder watcher can import new files as they appear.
Tips
- Google Takeout: Select only the products you need to reduce download size and processing time.
- WhatsApp: Export chats from within the app (three-dot menu > More > Export chat). Choose "Without media" for faster processing.
- Twitter/X: Request your archive from Settings > Your account > Download an archive. It may take 24-48 hours.
- Obsidian: Point directly to your vault folder. Markdown files are parsed with their frontmatter, tags and wikilinks.
