Turning it on and off

1. 1Click the Incognito mode button at the top right of the new chat screen.
2. 2The screen reads You're in incognito mode; write your message as usual.
3. 3To leave, use the Turn off incognito mode button at the top right.

What's different in an incognito chat?

• The chat is not written to history and does not appear in the history in the sidebar.
• It is not written to memory (see How does memory work?).
• It is not saved to projects; incognito chat is not available in project mode.
• Desktop No file checkpoints are kept in an incognito chat, so file changes made in it cannot be undone (see Checkpoints (undo)).
• To generate a response, your messages are still sent to the model provider; providers' retention terms are explained in the Privacy Policy.

How it differs from guest mode

Incognito chat is used while you're signed in; guest mode is chatting on the web without an account (see Guest mode). In neither is the chat saved.
