Discrawl

Mirror Discord guilds into local SQLite. Search server history without depending on Discord search. Bring a bot token, or read everything offline from a Git snapshot.

What it does

• discovers every guild a bot can access and syncs channels, threads, members, and message history into SQLite
• maintains FTS5 indexes for fast literal search; optional embeddings for semantic and hybrid recall
• imports classifiable Discord Desktop cache messages with wiretap, including proven DMs under @me
• tails the Gateway for live updates with periodic repair sweeps
• publishes the archive as sharded NDJSON snapshots in a private Git repo so readers can search offline with no Discord credentials
• exposes read-only SQL, channel/member directories, mention queries, digests, and trend analytics

Pick your path

• New here? Read Install and run discrawl init.
• Already have a bot? Jump to sync and search.
• Just want to read a shared archive? Use subscribe - no token needed.
• Need DM search? wiretap imports local Discord Desktop cache.
• Want semantic search? Configure Embeddings, then run embed.
