From chat to contract evidence in minutes

Three steps from the messy WhatsApp thread to an organized report.

1

Export from WhatsApp

Open the chat with the client or counterparty. Tap the contact name, then Export Chat. Include media so voice messages with verbal quotes are captured.

2

Upload to ThreadRecap

Upload the ZIP. Parsing happens in your browser. Timestamps, speakers, and media are identified instantly.

3

Get the Report

Receive a structured timeline with quoted prices, scope decisions, payment terms, and transcribed voice messages. Ask follow-up questions to find specific commitments.

Sound Familiar?

Client claims the agreed price was lower than what you actually quoted.

Scope grew after the original agreement, and nobody wrote down the new terms.

Payment terms were discussed in voice messages that are now conveniently forgotten.

A verbal yes to the deliverables is being denied now that the invoice is due.

Deadline extensions were requested by the other side and are now being blamed on you.

Why This Can't Wait

Verbal agreements are enforceable

In most jurisdictions, text and voice agreements carry legal weight. What's missing is proof, and that proof sits in your chat.

Scope creep needs a paper trail

Without a timestamped record of each change, scope disputes become he-said, she-said arguments no mediator can resolve.

Voice messages can be deleted

Either side can wipe a WhatsApp voice message containing a price quote or approval. Transcribe and archive them first.

Screenshots are weak evidence

Cropped screenshots lack context. A structured, chronological report is what counsel and courts actually accept.

Late-payment cases need dates

Small claims and debt collection depend on exact dates of agreement and invoice. Your chat has them, the report surfaces them.

Evidence for every kind of contract dispute

Price & Quote Disputes

Document the exact price agreed and when. Catch voice-message quotes that were never put in writing.

Scope Change Arguments

Track each new request the client made after the original agreement, with dates and the exact message.

Payment Term Denial

Prove the agreed payment schedule, deposit, and due dates when the other side says they never agreed.

Informal Loans & IOUs

Turn a loan discussed over WhatsApp into a structured timeline of the agreement, amount, and repayment terms.

Questions? Answered.

In most jurisdictions, text messages and voice messages can serve as evidence of an agreement, and a court will typically want to know when they were sent, by whom, and whether the record is complete. ThreadRecap organizes your export into a chronological record with timestamps and speakers, so you have something readable to bring to your lawyer. It cannot verify that an export is genuine — no tool can, because an export reproduces edited data just as faithfully — so keep the original .zip, which is what a lawyer would go back to.

Yes. If you export with media, every voice message is transcribed and placed in the timeline at its exact timestamp. This is critical when price quotes, approvals, or deadline extensions were discussed verbally.

ThreadRecap is a documentation tool, not a legal service. The report structures what was said, by whom, and when, which many clients share with their attorney as a starting point. Your lawyer decides the best way to present it in court.

ThreadRecap analyzes the chat export from your device. Messages the other side deletes on their phone still exist on yours until you delete them. Export as soon as a dispute is brewing to preserve the full thread.

Yes. Your chat file is parsed entirely in your browser. For analysis, the text is sent with card and bank details, ID numbers and passwords replaced by markers before any AI reads it. Every voice message is sent for transcription, and so is the audio track extracted from each video.

Exact price shown before you pay, set by the conversation's size

What you are committing to

The exact price before you pay

The upload screen shows what your conversation costs before you pay, and reading your export in the browser is free.

One payment, no subscription

You pay once for the conversation you unlock. There is no subscription and nothing renews.

If we cannot deliver, your money comes back

If a conversation or a document you paid for cannot be delivered, the full amount returns to your ThreadRecap balance, ready to spend right away, and the card charge stays on your statement. Ask us if you want it back on your card instead.

Privacy and security

Chat parsing happens locally in your browser. For AI analysis, text is sent with card and bank details, ID numbers and passwords replaced by markers.

Your chat is stored on our servers so your analysis stays accessible. You keep full control: delete anytime from your dashboard. Never used for training and shared only with the providers that run the service.

Photos, video files, and their visual content never leave your device. For transcription, we send chat text and the audio of every voice message, including the audio track your browser extracts from each video.
