It shouldn't be your word against theirs

Maya's landlord promised her money off the rent in a voice note. A week later, he said he never agreed to it.

Her PDF shows both, word for word, with the date and time.

Hi Maya, it's Tom. Look, I've spoken to the engineer and he says the part has to be ordered, so it won't be this week. I know it's cold. Get yourself a couple of electric heaters and keep the receipts, and I'll take the cost off February's rent. And you don't need to pay the full rent until this is fixed, we'll sort it out when it's working again.

OK. Thank you. So I buy heaters, keep the receipts, and you take them off February's rent?

Tom Hartley 19:24:48

Yep 👍

Morning. So the engineer came yesterday and he says the boiler's actually fine now, the pressure was low, that's all it was. So I don't think there's anything to take off the rent. I never agreed to anything like that. Just top up the pressure next time.

Longest gap: 4 days 22 h, from message 43 (Tom Hartley, 29 Jan 2026, 14:26:02) to message 44 (Maya Lindqvist, 3 Feb 2026, 13:02:14).

A new conversation starts when someone writes after at least 6 hours of quiet. Typical reply is how long a person usually takes to answer.

1 message only says something like “This message was deleted” or “image omitted”. It still counts as a message.

Common questions

What do I get?

One PDF with your whole chat as a timeline, every message with its number, date and time. Voice notes are written out word for word and photos sit where they were sent. You also get a summary with the key highlights and promises, and charts of who wrote how much and when.

Can I read my chat before I pay?

Yes, all of it. Search any word, play the voice notes and see the charts for free. You only pay if you want the PDF with every voice note written out.

Can I give it to my lawyer or mediator?

Yes, that's what it's for. You can email it, print it or upload it to a portal. They can point to any line by its number.

Is it only for disputes?

No. It also works for looking back on a relationship, a friendship or a family group, or just for keeping a chat safe.

My chat goes back years. Will it work?

Yes. Long chats with hundreds of voice notes are what it's made for. The price goes up with the length, and you see it before you pay.

How good is the summary?

AI writes it from your messages and voice notes, and it can make mistakes. Each highlight shows its message number, so you can check it. It says what was said and when, and it doesn't take sides or give advice.

Do the other people in the chat find out?

No. WhatsApp doesn't tell anyone when you export a chat, and we never contact anyone in it.

Who can see my chat?

While you read, nobody. It stays on your device. If you order, we use it only to make your PDF and then delete it. The PDF goes after 30 days, or whenever you delete it.

How do I get my chat out of WhatsApp?

On iPhone, open the chat, tap the name at the top and choose Export chat. On Android, tap the three dots, then More, then Export chat. Choose to include media, so the voice notes and photos come too.

How long does it take?

Your chat opens right away. The PDF is usually ready in a few minutes, and we email you when it's done.

Does it work in my language?

Any language WhatsApp exports, including right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. Voice notes are written out in the language they were spoken. When you order, you choose the language of your summary and headings, from 24 languages.

How much does it cost?

From $5, paid once. There's no subscription. The price depends on how long your chat is, and you see it before you pay.

What if something goes wrong with my record?

Email [email protected] and we'll fix it or refund you.
