Teams Draft Viewer

A local, read-only C# terminal app for viewing current and deleted Microsoft Teams drafts stored in Chromium LevelDB files.

Features

• Detects and merges every Teams-Recovery-* snapshot on the Desktop with the live new Teams cache.
• Reads LevelDB SSTables and write-ahead logs without modifying them.
• Shows recovered drafts in a split terminal list and plain-text preview.
• Resolves cached chat names and channel topics for the draft header.
• Includes private chats, channel posts, and replies by default.
• Supports draft selection, preview scrolling, and one-key rescanning.
• Opens no network port and does not upload or copy draft data.

Run

cd A:\TeamsDraftViewer
dotnet run

All detected recovery snapshots and the live cache are scanned together by default. To choose only one copied profile:

dotnet run -- --path "C:\path\to\Teams-Recovery-snapshot"

Keyboard controls are shown at the bottom of the screen. The main controls are:

• Up/Down or J/K: select a draft
• Page Up/Page Down: scroll its contents
• R: rescan; Q or Esc: quit

For a non-interactive summary, use:

dotnet run -- --path "C:\path\to\snapshot" --list

The most useful folder to preserve after losing a draft is:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\EBWebView

Copy it promptly: normal LevelDB compaction can remove deleted historical versions.

Test

dotnet test
