Private legal evidence bundles
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Turn WhatsApp exports into searchable, redacted evidence bundles with stable message numbers and Bates-style pages. Fully private: no message is ever uploaded.
Turn an official WhatsApp export into a searchable, reviewable evidence bundle—without uploading a single message.
ChatExhibit is a private Mac app for lawyers, paralegals, caseworkers, and anyone preparing conversations for professional review. Import an official WhatsApp ZIP or TXT export, find the relevant messages, apply redactions, and create a consistent handoff package.
IMPORT AND REVIEW
• Open official WhatsApp ZIP and TXT exports
• Search messages by text
• Filter by participant, date, record type, attachments, and warnings
• Review matched images alongside the conversation
• Inspect raw source records and parsing details
• Preserve the supplied source without modifying the original file
PREPARE CASE MATERIAL
• Select the complete conversation or a filtered subset
• Apply non-destructive message, text, participant, and attachment redactions
• Keep stable message numbers for cross-referencing
• Identify missing media and uncertain records instead of silently ignoring them
• Configure paper size, fonts, numbering, and optional Bates-style page identifiers
EXPORT A COMPLETE BUNDLE
ChatExhibit Pro can generate:
• A searchable, numbered evidence transcript PDF
• An optional reconstructed conversation-view PDF
• A CSV message index
• An organized attachment folder and attachment index
• A machine-readable manifest
• SHA-256 checksums for generated files
• A ZIP archive or standard folder
Choose between two package types:
- PRESERVATION PACKAGE
Includes the untouched supplied source for internal retention. Because it contains the original material, it is not safe for redacted disclosure.
- REDACTED DISCLOSURE PACKAGE
Excludes the original source and recoverable unredacted derivatives, creating a safer package for sharing.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your conversations are processed locally on your Mac.
• No account required
• No chat content uploaded
• No cloud processing
• No subscription
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
ChatExhibit works with files exported through WhatsApp. It does not access your WhatsApp account, scrape WhatsApp Web, retrieve deleted content, or recover information absent from the supplied export.
Generated conversation views are reconstructions, not original WhatsApp screenshots.
ChatExhibit organizes supplied material but does not authenticate conversations, certify evidence, provide legal advice, or guarantee admissibility. SHA-256 hashes can help verify that generated files have not changed after creation; they do not prove that the supplied export was authentic.
ChatExhibit is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta.
