Drop an exported WhatsApp chat ZIP and backi.app sorts it into folders: photos by topic (people, memes, food, screenshots…), videos, audio, PDFs. The AI runs in your browser, so your files never touch our servers. Save to Google Drive or as a ZIP

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the maker of backi.app.
The problem: I'm in a bunch of family and work groups on WhatsApp. Every time I exported a chat to back up the photos and documents, I got a ZIP with hundreds of files named like `IMG-20240312-WA0042.jpg`, all dumped in one folder. Finding anything was painful, and organizing it by hand took forever.
What backi.app does:
You drop the exported chat ZIP
Photos are split by topic: people, memes, landscapes, food, animals, screenshots, documents and papers…
Videos, audio notes, PDFs, stickers and contacts go to their own folders
You save it all to your Google Drive or download an organized ZIP
The part I care about most is privacy. Everything runs in your browser. There's no backend: the ZIP is opened, analyzed and sorted on your own device, and the AI model (CLIP, via transformers.js in a Web Worker) runs locally too. The chat text itself is thrown away and never uploaded. Google Drive access uses the `drive.file` scope, so the app can only see the files it creates.
Pricing: the preview is free, so you can see exactly how your folders will look before paying. Saving costs USD 5 per chat (or packs of 3 and 5). No account, no subscription.
🎁 For the Product Hunt community: 1 free conversion. Pick "1 conversion" at checkout and use the code GGP3B7Z09A7O.
Stack, for the curious: Vite + React + TypeScript, zip.js to read the export without loading it all into memory, transformers.js + CLIP for photo topics (WebGPU when available, WASM otherwise), Google Identity Services + Drive API, Dodo Payments for license keys. Hosted as a static site.
What's next: OneDrive and Dropbox. I'd love to know which one you'd use, and if there's a folder or category you think is missing.
Thanks for checking it out. I'll be here all day answering questions! 🙌
