Only the latest release receives fixes.
Worth stating plainly, because the app handles private conversations:
- Chat exports are parsed locally and stored in a SQLite database at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\chat-viewer\archive.sqlite3. - Media files are never copied. The database stores absolute paths into your export folder, and the app reads them on demand.
- The app makes no network requests. There is no telemetry, no crash reporting, no auto-update, and no account.
- The only outbound action possible is the GhostCorp link in the sidebar, which opens in your normal browser when you click it.
- Uninstalling the app does not remove the database. Delete
%LOCALAPPDATA%\chat-viewer\yourself if you want the imported data gone. - "Delete message" and "Delete chat" affect the local database only. Your original export files are never modified.
Email tech@ghostcorp.online with a description and reproduction steps. Please do not open a public issue for a security problem, and do not include real chat content in the report.
