AI is pretty smart. But it's also pretty forgetful.

OpenTrawl crawls iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail and Calendar into SQLite archives on your Mac, with standing lists of your people, purchases and events. Your AI answers from your actual history: one call, no interrogation.

Everything stays on your machine, unless you choose to send it somewhere.

29 tool calls. 214,545 tokens. ≈ $1. Wrong once. Measured, July 2026: a frontier model with mail connectors and full disk access. It pays this again for every question.

The archive already knew. One query against a local file. Crawl once; every question after is a lookup.

It just works One Mac app authorises your sources and keeps the archives fresh. Ask your AI anything about your life; it reads the answer.

For engineers One Go crawler and one SQLite file per source, one CLI over all of them: status, sync, search. Durable context your agent can grep.

Private by construction Crawling and search run locally. The archives are plain SQLite files on your disk. Open them yourself.

Open source Missing a source? Use our agent skill to write your own crawler; it drops into the CLI and the app next to ours.
