Troubleshooting & FAQ

Common issues and how to resolve them yourself.

Install from the Chrome Web Store (Chrome or any Chromium-based browser such as Edge, Brave or Arc). After installing, pin the icon to your toolbar, open a supported AI chat, and click the NexArchive icon. The free version works immediately — no account, login, or server connection. If the icon doesn't appear, fully restart the browser and confirm the extension is enabled at chrome://extensions.
AI platforms change their page layout from time to time, which can temporarily break extraction. First, reload the chat page and update NexArchive to the latest version (chrome://extensions → Update). If it still doesn't work, open a GitHub issue or email anfrage@flowent.de with the platform name and a screenshot. This is a one-person project, so there's no guaranteed turnaround — but layout breakages are the top priority and fixes ship through the Chrome Web Store as soon as they're ready.
Exports are written to your computer's normal browser download location as a local file (a Markdown ZIP, or a Context Bridge JSON file). Nothing is uploaded — there are no cloud copies. If you can't find an export, check your browser's download history (Ctrl+J) and your Downloads folder. You can change the destination in your browser's download settings.
NexArchive stores its data locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local) — not on any server. To remove it: clear the extension's data via chrome://extensions, or simply uninstall the extension, which makes Chrome delete its local storage automatically. Files you already exported live on your own disk and are deleted by you like any other file. Because there is no server account, there is no backend record to request deletion of.
NexArchive runs entirely locally and is maintained by a single founder, so there's no staffed enterprise desk and no contractual uptime SLA today. That said, the extension can be deployed via Google Workspace Admin Console or Microsoft Intune using a policy file, and because processing is local there is generally no data processing on your behalf. For team licences, deployment help, or compliance paperwork (including a DPA), email anfrage@flowent.de — these are handled personally on a best-effort, case-by-case basis.
The free version is free, with no payment obligation. The Pro version is paid (a monthly subscription you can cancel monthly with 7 days' notice before the billing period ends, or a one-time lifetime licence). Payment is processed by Stripe; we don't see your full card details. Refunds follow the Terms: as a consumer you have a 14-day right of withdrawal and are reimbursed within 14 days of notifying us. Note the legal exception — if you expressly asked to start using paid digital content immediately and acknowledged you'd lose the withdrawal right, the refund right no longer applies. For any billing question, email anfrage@flowent.de.
NexArchive is built and maintained by Luis Ens (Flowent), Freiburg, Germany — one person, not a team. There's no phone hotline, live chat, or 24/7 desk. Email and GitHub are the support channels, and we aim to reply within about 2 business days. Complex issues may take longer; we'll be honest about timing when we respond.
