Project overview

WhatsApp Backup Reader opens exported chat ZIP files in a browser or desktop app, making messages, photos, videos, and voice notes searchable without uploading them. Users can bookmark messages, inspect conversation statistics, browse a dated media gallery, and export selected files. Voice notes are transcribed locally with Whisper, with no account, server, or API key required. The transcription workflow depends on a WebGPU-capable environment.
