sigtop VS signal-back

It's harder on Signal but there are tools to do it on desktop.

You can use SigTop to create a backup of all message history from Signal Desktop though. There is no way to restore the messages to your android phone though.

Yes. You can make a backup on android. You can probably also do so on MacOS though without having to buy an android phone. Check out SigTop. I am checking if this works for myself right now

I wrote sigbak and sigtop to export Signal messages. I believe they are reasonably straightforward to use, and have sufficient documentation. And I, too, welcome suggestions for improvements.

I wrote sigtop to export messages from Signal Desktop, and sigbak to export from Signal Android backups. HTH.

You might also be interested in sigtop, a utility I wrote. It probably is a much simpler solution to your problem.

I wrote a utility to export messages etc. from Signal Desktop. You may find it useful.

I have written sigbak (for Signal Android backups) and sigtop (for Signal Desktop) for that purpose.

If that doesn't help, it would be interesting to see if the missing messages exist in the Signal Desktop database. You could use sigtop for this. After you've built it, run this:

All I know of is signal back ( https://github.com/xeals/signal-back ) but I haven't been able to install and use this yet due to my complete lack of programming knowledge. Even the Github instructions don't make sense to me...

Once you figured out how this works, tell me: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back

A number of users have raised the issue on github: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back/issues/77

Hey there! Can you please link the rust tool you mentioned? I'm only aware of this go tool: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back

If your messages are Signal-encrypted, you can use the software on https://github.com/xeals/signal-back to export your encrypted messages as SMS, which you can then get as a PDF more easily.

Is this it?

I've tried using Signal Back to format my backup file into a format that I can read and use.
