Anyone up for the gravel loop today? Weather looks perfect. ☀️

Theo Akande6:48 AM

I'm in. Meeting at the bridge at 7?

I'll bring extra tubes — last week I went through three on the same descent and it was not a great Sunday.

How it works

Three steps from chat to searchable archive.

Community Archives reads from your existing community — no migration, no rewriting how your members talk.

Connect your community

Link your WhatsApp number or Slack workspace. We never post on your behalf.

Pick what to preserve

Choose the groups, chats, or channels worth keeping. Available history imports in the background.

VERIFIED VIA PHONE

Share with members

A clean web home for your archive. Members verify their phone or workspace identity — no new accounts.

What gets preserved

Every thread, reply, and shared photo — kept readable.

The receipts

12,481 messages

The full text of every message in your community — including replies, edits, and reactions — searchable and pinned to the original sender.

Of history

01 — Threads

Anyone bringing snacks Saturday?

Maya: Two boxes of clementines

Jonas: Kettle + cups, on it

Threads, intact

Replies stay attached to the message that started them. Quote chains keep their order.

02 — Media

Media with context

Images, voice notes, links, and files keep their context instead of disappearing into a camera roll.

03 — Search

“harvest moon”

12 results in Sunday Ride

Search that works

Find the message, the reply, the file, and the person who posted it without asking the group again.

04 — Access

members-only

No mystery accounts

Members enter through the same identity they already use with the community.

Privacy

Your archive does not become a public leak.

Read-only linking

Community Archives imports from your source but never posts messages back into the community.

Member verification

Phone or workspace identity gates access before a member can read the archive.

Admins stay in control

Admins control visibility and which groups are archived. Email support@community-archives.com for anything you can't change yourself.

Designed for memory

The archive preserves context without replacing the chat where your people already talk.

Sources

Start where your community already is.

Connect source

Connect a phone-number backed community, keep groups intact, and let members verify access with the number they already use.

Slack
