⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ⚠️

This project uses unofficial APIs. Using it may result in your account being banned.

The fact that you fear losing your account is telling a lot about how much of your own life you don't control already.

Do you fear losing your data? OWN IT.

Quick Start

npm install

# Start all services (config UI + scheduler)
npm run start

That starts the config UI at http://localhost:3777 and runs the scheduler daemon, which will automatically:

• Run each plugin's get → process → push commands on schedule
• Respect active hours (7:00 - 23:00)
• Add random delays to mimic human behavior

Manual Commands

# Individual plugin commands
npm run twitter:get       # Fetch tweets
npm run twitter:process   # Generate MindCache
npm run twitter:push      # Sync to GitHub

npm run instagram:get     # Fetch posts (requires login first via config)
npm run instagram:process # Generate viewer + markdown
npm run instagram:push    # Sync to GitHub

npm run whatsapp:get      # Real-time listener (runs until Ctrl+C)
npm run whatsapp:process  # Process raw dumps
npm run whatsapp:push     # Sync to GitHub

# Batch commands
npm run process_all       # Process all plugins
npm run push_all          # Push all plugins to GitHub

Plugin Architecture

Each plugin is self-contained with:

• manifest.json - Metadata, scheduler config, commands
• config.ts - Plugin-specific configuration types
• template.ts - Config UI section
• get.ts - Fetch raw data
• process.ts - Process raw data into output formats
• push.ts - Sync to GitHub

Config Format

{
  "storage": { ... },
  "plugins": {
    "twitter": {
      "enabled": true,
      "intervalHours": 6,
      "randomMinutes": 30,
      "accounts": ["karpathy", "paulg"],
      "tweetsPerAccount": 100,
      "githubPath": "twitter"
    },

Philosophy

Your data belongs to you. These platforms hold your conversations, your contacts, your memories hostage. This project helps you take them back.

• Local-first: Everything is stored on your machine first
• Raw dumps: Keep the original API responses
• GitHub backup: Optional sync to your own private repository
• No cloud dependencies: Works offline after initial setup
• Plugin architecture: Easy to add new data sources

Security Notes

• Session files in auth/ are gitignored and contain encryption keys
• GitHub token is stored locally in auth/github-token.json
• Raw dumps contain your personal messages - keep them safe
• No data is sent anywhere except your own GitHub repo (if configured)
