About this app

You know it was said. You just don't remember which voice message it was in, or when. Share the chat export to ThreadRecap and read the whole conversation as text, in date order, so finding that one moment takes a search instead of an evening.

WHAT THE APP DOES

• Receives the export from the share sheet. No saving the file, hunting for it in a file manager, or emailing it to yourself. Opening a file you already have on the phone works too.
• Shows you what will be analyzed before anything is sent: message count, participants, date range, the voice messages included and the price, exact once the recordings are measured. Narrow the dates to the part of the conversation that matters.
• Reads the archive on the phone, so the analysis starts from what you approved and nothing else.
• Gives you a summary written for reading, shaped to your conversation, and lists the decisions, tasks and dates it mentions. Send them to Notion or Trello, and the dates to Google Calendar.
• Lets you ask follow-up questions. The answers search the whole conversation, voice messages included.
• Turns voice messages into text you can read next to the audio itself.
• Keeps the original messages available in date order, inside the app.
• Opens the documents generated from a recap and exports them as PDF, Word or Markdown.
• Puts names to numbers. With your permission, the app compares the participants with your phone's address book on the device itself, so you read people instead of phone numbers.

PRIVACY

• The archive is opened and read on your phone.
• Photos and video files are never uploaded. From each video, the phone copies only the sound and sends it for transcription.
• Card and bank details, ID numbers and passwords are replaced by markers before an AI service reads your text. Your conversation itself is stored encrypted, as written.
• Your address book never leaves the phone. The comparison runs on the device and no contact data is sent to us or to anyone else.
• You choose the dates to analyze before anything is sent. Every voice message in those dates is transcribed.
• You can delete a recap, only its saved audio, the export copies the app keeps on your phone, or your whole account, from inside the app.

PRICE

Each conversation has its own price, set by how much text and how many minutes of recordings it holds, and you see it before you pay. Choose the File (the dated conversation as PDF and TXT, voice messages written out), the Analysis (summary, questions and voice messages written out, to read on screen), or Complete (both). Start with one, add the other later and pay only the difference. You pay by adding balance through Google Play; what is left stays on your balance for the next conversation.

GOOD TO KNOW

• From a video, only its sound is transcribed. The picture is not analyzed.
• If a selection is too large for one analysis, the app says so before anything is sent, and you narrow the dates.
• The app works with the standard chat export file. It never connects to your messaging account and asks for no access to it.
• Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian and German.

ThreadRecap does not give legal advice, and no tool can confirm that a chat export is genuine. Keep your original export file.
