Features
Read full description

ChatProof turns exported chat archives into readable local records. Open a WhatsApp-style TXT, CSV, LOG, or ZIP export, review the conversation, search by sender or message text, and export a clean PDF, HTML, or CSV file. Everything runs on your device. Chat files are not uploaded, accounts are not required, and no tracking SDK is included. Useful for personal records, small disputes, client history, project handoffs, and any situation where screenshots are too messy.
