CLUSTER WECHAT-CHAT-HISTORY · 20 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-03-21

WeChat chat history tools

This cluster comprises local-first desktop and macOS tools that archive, export, migrate, and summarize WeChat chat histories, often to free phone storage or enable searchable personal memories. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only two entries predate the index, so the cluster's evolution is unclear. Traction is led by WeChatBridge (396 stars), wechat-ai-memory (138 stars), and wechat-local-viewer (134 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
