Connect Google Recorder

G-Records reads your recordings through a dedicated Chrome profile on your computer, signed in to your Google Recorder account. It’s separate from your everyday Chrome profile.

Set it up

1. Open a local Codex chat on your Mac or Windows computer, with G-Records enabled.
2. Ask: Set up G-Records with my Google Recorder account.
3. Give the email address of the Google account you record with, and your time zone.
4. When the dedicated Chrome profile opens, sign in to Google.
5. G-Records checks that the signed-in account matches the email you gave, then saves your setup.

You don’t need ChatGPT Pages or a Space for setup.

What stays on your computer

Your Google password and sign-in cookies stay in the dedicated profile on your computer. G-Records never sends them anywhere, and never copies them between computers. Each computer you import from has its own profile and needs its own sign-in.

Your time zone

G-Records uses your time zone to date recordings and to decide which recordings count as your most recent 14 days on the Free plan. Ask G-Records to change it at any time.

If your sign-in expires

Google sometimes asks you to sign in again. When that happens, the next import stops and asks you to sign in to the same dedicated profile. After you do, it carries on where it left off.

Use a different Google account

Ask G-Records in your local chat to change your Google Recorder account. It opens the dedicated profile so you can sign in with the new account.

Disconnect

To stop G-Records reading your Recorder account, sign out of Google in the dedicated profile, and turn off any schedule. Recordings already imported stay in your library until you delete them.
