## Project history and usage

Dukou is an open-source, local macOS bridge for forwarding and archiving WeChat chat history through WeChat's own export and share mechanisms.

### Project history

Dukou was released in 2026 as an MIT-licensed native macOS utility for WeChat's third-party forwarding facility. The project began with direct hand-off and a temporary shelf, then expanded toward compliant bulk backup, offline HTML viewing, Moments export, Markdown output, and per-chat continuation prompts.

### Adoption history

Dukou targets macOS WeChat users who want to hand a complete conversation to an AI assistant or another application without reading or decrypting WeChat's database. Its Homebrew tap provides a package-manager installation route for the same signed and notarized build distributed through GitHub Releases.

### How it is used

Users enable Dukou's share extensions, select messages in WeChat, and choose a destination such as the shelf, clipboard, ChatGPT, Claude, or a custom application.

Its experimental quick-forward workflows can export chats or Moments to chronological text bundles with optional media, offline HTML, or Markdown while avoiding database access, decryption, and code injection.

### Why package nerds care

Dukou packages a distinctly modern desktop bridge: a collection of macOS share extensions turns an otherwise closed application's exported ZIP into input for ChatGPT, Claude, terminals, archives, or user-selected applications. Its local-only and sandboxed design is notable in a category often associated with database extraction or injection.

### Timeline

- 2026: Dukou was published as an MIT-licensed macOS project.
- 2026: Releases added bulk WeChat and Moments export, offline HTML previews, Markdown output, and per-chat continuation prompts.

### Related projects

- WeChat supplies the exported chat-history ZIP that Dukou receives.
- ChatGPT and Claude are explicit hand-off targets exposed by Dukou's share extensions.
