Lifelog now archives your Instagram direct messages and Facebook Messenger chats, imported from Meta's official exports.

  • Instagram (instagram): leave the JSON export zip from Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Export your information → Create export in ~/Downloads, and each chat gets its own page under Instagram/.
  • Messenger (messenger): the same, from the Facebook export. Chats with end-to-end encryption are not part of that export, so they are not imported yet.
  • Messages appear under the sender's name. Photos, videos, voice messages and shared posts become placeholders, and Meta's broken accents and emoji are repaired.
  • Exports often come in several zips, so these imports only add messages and never mark one as deleted.
  • The menu bar app imports both hourly and reminds you after 45 days without a new export.

Install

Download Lifelog-0.2.0.zip, unzip it and move Lifelog.app to /Applications, replacing the old version. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens with a double-click. Permissions you granted to 0.1.0 carry over.

Requires macOS 14 or newer.
