Talekeep

Apps get acquired. Services shut down. Chat history vanishes with them. Talekeep turns your conversations into an encrypted archive on YOUR device — a file you own, browse offline like a chat app, and can ask AI about. Private by default. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Your archive lives on your device; message text is encrypted at rest. No Talekeep servers, no account, no analytics or tracking. • You hold the key (Keychain, or a passphrase + recovery code you save). • One portable folder: keep it on any disk, move it to a new Mac, open it — everything, including downloaded media, just works. ARCHIVE YOUR CHATS • Connect Telegram with your own Telegram API key and choose which conversations to keep — all history or just a recent period. • Inline photos, videos, files and albums — view and play them in the app, zoom or go full screen, filter by type, and bulk-download in the background. IMPORT FROM YOUR OTHER APPS • Import official chat exports from WhatsApp, LINE, ChatGPT, Claude, and Slack — drop the export in and Talekeep recognizes it automatically. Imports are local files; nothing touches the network. • Anything else? Use Talekeep's open, documented import format — convert any export (even with your favorite AI's help) and pull it into your archive. FIND ANYTHING • One search across everything: conversations, messages, AND media — browse matching photos and videos as thumbnails, open them full size, or jump straight to their place in the conversation. • Or ask in natural language across your whole archive (powered by an on-device semantic index). ASK AI, YOUR WAY • On-device by default: Apple Intelligence answers on your device — nothing leaves it. • Or bring your own model: point Talekeep at a LOCAL model running on your device (any OpenAI-compatible server, e.g. Ollama / LM Studio / MLX), or a cloud provider with your own API key. The app clearly shows when messages would leave your device. CONNECT EXTERNAL AI — MCP (OPTIONAL) • Want to connect external AI apps (like Claude) to your archive? Talekeep for Mac includes a local MCP server — your iPhone/iPad archive is the same portable format. FREE AND PLUS • Free: connect 1 account, archive up to 3 conversations, on-device Ask AI included. • Talekeep Plus (subscription): unlimited accounts & conversations, automatic keep-up-to-date for watched chats, bring-your-own AI models, the MCP server, and new connectors as they ship. Talekeep is local-first and platform-agnostic by design. Telegram is the first live connector; more are planned. Note: Talekeep is not affiliated with Telegram or with the services whose exports it can import. You use your own credentials and exports, and are responsible for complying with each service's terms and the laws that apply to you.
