Share a conversation as a link

You can turn any AI session into a read-only web page that anyone can open in a browser: no account, no Yardmaster install. It's great for showing a colleague what an agent did, sharing an interesting conversation, or keeping a public record of a piece of work.

The shared page shows the AI's written answers in a clean, readable layout: the behind-the-scenes tool steps (files it read, commands it ran) are left out, so the page reads like a finished conversation rather than a work log.

Share a conversation#

1. 1

   Right-click the session (or a message, or a selection) and choose Share.

2. 2

   Pick how long the link should stay live, plus any options you want (below).

3. 3

   Yardmaster publishes a snapshot and copies the link to your clipboard.

4. 4

   Anyone with the link can read it in their browser.

To share a single file or a pasted page instead of a conversation, see Share a file or page as a link.

Choose what to share#

• A whole conversation: right-click the session and choose Share (the dialog defaults to the full conversation).

• A single message: right-click one message bubble and share just that.

• A highlighted selection: select some text, right-click, and share only what you picked.

Choose who can open it and for how long#

• Expiration: every public share carries an expiry: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

• Google sign-in: only people signed in with a Google Workspace account on a domain you list, or people you name, can open the page (see Choose who can open a share).

• Password: require a password to open the page. It's hashed on your machine before it ever leaves Yardmaster: the plaintext is never sent or stored.

• View cap: limit how many times the link can be opened.

• Notify on view: get a desktop notification the first time someone opens it.

Manage your shared links#

Open Shares in the left sidebar to see every link you've published, each with its view count, last-viewed time, and a "Protected" badge for password-gated links.

From there you can revoke a link instantly (it starts returning a "revoked" page), edit its label / expiry / password / cap, or delete it. More in Find and manage your shares.

Clear out forgotten links automatically#

Smart Share Reaper (optional, off by default) keeps that list from filling up with forgotten "never expires" links. It finds shares and screen recordings that are over a year old and have never been viewed, and gives each a 90-day grace expiry rather than deleting anything outright.

It drops a single inbox card asking you to Keep it or let it expire, so an old link you still want is one click from permanent again. Turn it on in Settings > Sharing.
