ThreadRecap vs VibeRecap
VibeRecap tells you how a relationship feels. ThreadRecap gives you what was actually said: every voice message as text, in order, with who said it and when, in a file you can keep.
- Photos stay on your device; from a video, only the audio track your browser extracts is sent.
- Analysis from $3
Two Products, One Export
ThreadRecap and VibeRecap are made by the same person, André Daniel, and both start from the same file: a WhatsApp chat exported with its voice messages. They answer different questions, and each site argues for its own.
VibeRecap answers "How is this going?" It reads the chat's warmth, who keeps it going and whether two people are drifting apart, and gives you a read of it. VibeRecap makes its own case here.
ThreadRecap answers "What was said, and when?" It writes out every voice message where it was sent, summarizes the conversation, answers your questions about it and hands you the whole chat as a PDF, a web page or a text file. A feeling cannot be shown to a lawyer, a landlord or a manager. A dated record can.
