Facebook can lock you out, delete your account, or just lose the thread of fifteen years. unplug.run gives every message, photo and post a calm, searchable home on your own computer that stays yours even after you leave Facebook behind.
You never make an account or a password with us. You stay in control the whole way through.
Request your information in Facebook's settings. They email you a download link, usually within a few hours.
Open the app, drag in the file. Everything is unpacked and organised on your computer in minutes. Nothing is uploaded.
Search every message, relive every year, find that one photo. It works offline and outlives your account.
One search bar over every message, post, comment and caption. Find a conversation from 2011 in seconds, something Facebook never let you do.
It resurfaces who you talked to most, the post everyone loved, and the months you lived out loud. A warm recap for each year you were on the platform.
The app reads your export right on your computer and never connects to the internet, not even to us. It'll happily run on a plane.
Delete Facebook tomorrow, or get locked out next year. It doesn't matter, because your memories already live somewhere that can't be taken away.
Most "memory" apps want you to upload your whole life to their servers. We think that's backwards. unplug runs entirely on your computer.
No. You download your own data from Facebook directly, then open that file in unplug. We never see your login, and Facebook never sees us. There's no way for them to cut us off, because we're not connected to them at all.
Facebook has a built-in "Download Your Information" tool in Settings. You request it, they prepare a file, and email you a link, usually within a few hours. unplug guides you through it the first time you open the app.
Everything in your export: messages, posts, comments, reactions, photos, friends and check-ins. Far more than Facebook's photo-book competitors can print, because they can only see what Facebook's API allows. Your export has the whole story.
Both. unplug is a native desktop app for macOS and Windows. It runs locally, so it's quick even with fifteen years of history and gigabytes of photos.
Your archive is a normal folder you can back up anywhere: an external drive, your own cloud, wherever you like. An optional encrypted backup is on the roadmap, but you're never locked into it.
Fifteen years is a long time to hand to a company that can delete it overnight. Bring it home.
