Hey Product Hunt 👋
If you use WhatsApp on Android, you've probably seen this: "Google Drive is full. Backup failed." Your only options are pay Google forever, delete chats to fit, or watch the backup quietly stop working.
I got tired of renting space from Google to keep messages I already own. So I built Chat Hoarding.
🔐 Decrypts your WhatsApp backup locally on your Mac with your own 64-digit key. Nothing uploaded, ever.
📱 Three ways to pull the backup off Android: USB drag-drop, built-in adb, or the companion app.
🎙 Everything renders — voice notes, photos, videos, calls, locations, deleted messages, group history, per-recipient read receipts.
💾 Once it's on your Mac, it's yours. Drop the archive on an external drive, NAS, or wherever you keep things that matter. No Google Drive quota. No iCloud upsell. No phone number lock-in.
🛡 Only 2 network calls in the entire app: license check + update check. Your chats never leave your Mac.
People are using it to:
• Keep conversations with a parent or partner who passed away
• Preserve years of chats before switching phones or changing numbers
• Save group history before someone leaves or a number gets reassigned
• Keep a personal record before a number, account, or device is gone
🎁 Product Hunt launch: code PH40OFF → 40% off ($59 instead of $99). Ends Sat May 23 (48h).
$99 one-time. 2 Macs. Lifetime v1.x updates. 14-day refund.
Next on my list: iPhone source + a mobile chat viewer. Would love feedback on what to build after.
