What Saga does with your backups.

A group conversation in Saga: the last days of a trip chat, with emoji reaction pills under the messages people reacted to, and the chat list beside it.

Import over USB or from a file

Connect an Android phone with a cable, or open a backup file you already keep. You supply the 64-digit key and Saga holds it in the macOS Keychain. Adding older backups to the same archive fills in the years a newer one dropped.

Archive settings: where the archive lives, buttons to add old backups or back the phone up again, and media folders.

Find the message, not just the chat

Search every message by the words people actually used, then open it in context with the conversation around it. Inside a conversation ⌘F finds within that chat and shows the match count, with next and previous; ⇧⌘F searches everything. Results are keyword matches, so search always works — no AI model needed.

Search results for “wedding”: matches across several chats, each with sender, chat and date.

Every chat with one person, together

A person's page collects every conversation you share with them and their activity over time. Names come from your contacts or contact files, and you can correct them.

A person's page: their conversations, message totals and activity over time.

Every photo and link, one shelf

Gallery gathers what was shared across every chat — images, video, voice notes, music, documents and links. Filter by conversation or year — type a name to narrow it — and sort by newest, oldest or most shared. Open a chat and its Media tab is the same Gallery, narrowed to that conversation.

Gallery: a grid of photos shared across chats, with tabs for images, video, voice notes, music, links and documents.

Voice notes, with who and where

A voice note has no picture, so it gets a list: who sent it, the chat it came from, the date, the length, and one player for the whole list. In a group, a name without the chat tells you nothing. A note that only exists in your cloud backup says so, and takes a fetch from the phone.

The Voice notes tab: each note with its sender, the chat it was sent in, the date, its duration and a play button.

And the music you traded

Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music links keep their cover, title and artist, so years of shared songs read as a shelf instead of a column of URLs. Open one and it plays where it lives.

The Music shelf: a grid of album covers, each with the song title, artist and the chat it was shared in.

Your year in messages

One year of activity: totals, a month-by-month chart, the people and groups you wrote to most. Wrapped is calculated on your Mac, with no AI model involved.

Wrapped for 2026: 7,095 messages across 14 conversations, how many of the archive's 304 days you actually wrote on, and a month-by-month chart.

The story of one chat

Pick a one-to-one chat and Saga makes it a page: how it began, who carries it, reply times, recurring words, the music you traded. Save it as a page or a PDF.

This one is a real page made from the sample archive. Scroll inside the phone, or open it full screen.

Open it full screen Plain HTML and CSS: the page reads the same with JavaScript off, and makes no network requests.

Meera Nair: 2,200 messages over three years, every figure computed on the Mac.

Also in the archive

Messages a newer backup drops: An import only adds what the vault hasn't seen. Nothing is removed because your phone has since forgotten it.
Summaries that cite the message: Catch me up summarises a period, with every point linked to the message it came from. Ask is one button in the top bar, for the whole archive or just the chat you have open, and it answers with citations.
Questions you still owe an answer: Might need your reply lists unanswered questions in one-to-one chats, newest first, in the last six months by default — and says how many older ones the window left out. Dismiss one, or undo.
Music and video, by month: Supported links from your chats, grouped by month, with repeated shares folded together. Previews stay off until you switch them on.
Hide spam without erasing your archive: Clean-up rules hide unwanted messages when the index is built. Remove the rule, rebuild, and they return.
One person, several numbers: Merge a person's old and new numbers, and undo it whenever you like.
