Brightgist

Your WhatsApp group, down to what matters.

A real summary of the sample chat

Reads the way your group writes.

Your chat never leaves your phone.

Group chats are full of phone numbers, flat numbers and family matters. Brightgist reads them on your device and never sends them anywhere.

Nothing is uploaded

Your browser opens the file and reads it in memory. There is no server that receives chats.

Blocked from sending

The page's security policy forbids connections to any other website except Brightgist's own settings-sync server, which never receives chat text.

Works offline

After your first visit, Brightgist keeps working in airplane mode. Try it.

Nothing is kept

Tap Another chat or close the tab and the chat is gone. Only your name and period choices are remembered: on this device, and encrypted on your other devices if you turn on sync.

No account needed, no tracking

No sign-up needed, no ads, no cookies. Settings sync and anonymous stats are optional and off unless you turn them on. Read the privacy policy.

Questions

Does it understand Hindi and Hinglish?

Yes. It reads English, Hindi in Devanagari, and Hinglish written in Roman letters: kal, parso, 10 tarikh, shaam 6 baje, saade 7, ravivar, jama karo, pakka, theek hai and many more. Devanagari numbers work too.

Is my chat uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your device. The page can connect only to Brightgist itself and its optional settings-sync server, and neither ever receives the chat.

Which exports work?

The .txt file Android creates and the .zip file iPhone creates, in 12 or 24 hour time and day-first or month-first dates. Exports that include media work too; Brightgist only opens the text inside and ignores the photos.

How accurate is it?

Brightgist looks for patterns such as dates, times, amounts, questions with your name, and several people agreeing to a proposal. It catches the clear ones well, but it can miss unusual wording or misread a joke.

Every line links to the original messages, so you can check anything important in a tap.

Why do I pick my name?

WhatsApp exports don't say who exported them. Picking your name lets Brightgist find questions that mention you, and see whether you've already replied. It's remembered on this device only.

Does it cost anything?

No. There's no account, subscription or ads.

Is Brightgist made by WhatsApp?

No. Brightgist is an independent tool that reads WhatsApp's standard export files. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.

Try it on your busiest group.
