Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Yash, and I built CatchMeUp because I kept opening WhatsApp only to find hundreds of unread messages. Reading through everything took too much time and effort, but I still wanted to know what actually happened.
Just imagine opening WhatsApp in the morning and seeing 842 unread messages. Scrolling through hundreds of messages is frustrating, and finding the important discussions buried under spam, memes, and casual chats can take hours. I kept thinking—there has to be a better way.
So I built CatchMeUp. Simply export a WhatsApp chat, choose a time range, and get a concise catch-up of everything that matters. Once you've caught up, you can even ask follow-up questions about the conversation.
CatchMeUp currently works through exported WhatsApp chats because WhatsApp doesn't provide a direct integration for features like this.
It's still in beta and runs on totally free infrastructure, so responses may occasionally be slower than I'd like. My focus right now is learning from real users and making the experience better. I have tried to simple architecture simple and clear.
In regards of privacy : Your exported chats. Your control. CatchMeUp doesn't even have a database.
I'd genuinely love your feedback:
* What did you like?
* What confused you?
* What would make you use CatchMeUp regularly?
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

would love if you could pin a catch-up summary at the top of the chat itself, maybe like a small banner that updates when new catch-ups run, so i don't have to open the app separately just to see what i missed
Unfortunately, WhatsApp’s API and strict UI constraints don't allow third-party apps to add custom banners or programmatically pin headers inside group chats.
That's actually why we built CatchMeUp as a separate platform so we could get summaries without hitting those platform limitations. Although I'm searching for ways for it . Thankyou for pointing it out ,appreciate the great suggestion!

this looks genuinely useful, especially for those chaotic family and work groups. one thing that would make it a lot better is letting it auto detect the unread messages since you last opened the chat, instead of picking a time range manually every time. basically just open whatsapp, see the badge, and tap catch me up for everything new. would save the extra step and honestly feel way more seamless in daily use.

@erdiakkoc Great idea! 💡 Making it feel completely seamless without having to manually pick a time window is definitely the dream UX.
I'm looking into ways to make the time-range selection automatic or smart-suggested based on your last catch-up with handling WhatsApp message privacy and API permissions. Thankyou for the awesome suggestion!

Saved me from scrolling through a 900-message family group chat on a Sunday morning, the summary actually nailed who said what about dinner plans. Would love a way to pin the catch-up so it doesn't get buried in my own messages.
