Chat Hoarding lets Mac users archive WhatsApp backups as searchable local files

Chat Hoarding is a Mac app that pulls in WhatsApp backups and stores them locally in a searchable archive — no cloud middleman involved. For anyone who's lost years of chat history to a phone swap or account change, owning that data locally is a real practical win. It's a focused, single-purpose tool aimed squarely at people who don't trust their memories to WhatsApp's retention policies.
