Discrawl: Mirror Discord Guilds Into Queryable Local SQLite

steipete · x · 2026-09-24

After Discord was blocked in the Philippines, users rushed to back up work chats and community history. Peter Steinberger's open-source Discrawl mirrors Discord guilds into a local queryable SQLite database.
Key capabilities:
Syncs channels, threads, members, messages, and attachments from every guild a bot can access into one SQLite file (demo: 312k messages, 14k attachments);
FTS5 full-text search plus optional OpenAI/Ollama embeddings for semantic and hybrid recall;
A wiretap mode reads the local Discord Desktop cache without user tokens or extracting auth credentials;
Git-backed sharded NDJSON snapshots for offline subscription search, with Gateway live tail and periodic repair sweeps.
Install via brew install openclaw/tap/discrawl, then discrawl init, sync --full, and search; works with agents like Hermes or OpenClaw.
