How to Use the Chat Log Analyzer
In a group chat or a long conversation with a friend, it's natural to wonder who talked the most. This tool lets you paste the raw text of an exported chat log — the kind of file WhatsApp and similar messaging apps let you export — and automatically tallies the message count and total character count for each participant into a table.
Exported chat logs are usually made of lines like "[1/1/24, 10:00:00 AM] John: Hey there", and this tool recognizes that timestamp-and-name pattern to separate the sender, time, and message content. If you edit the text or change the line breaks while copying it out of the export file, recognition accuracy may drop, so it's best to paste the raw export exactly as it was saved.
Results are sorted from the most active participant down, so you can see at a glance who drove the conversation the most. It's a handy way to wrap up a group chat or summarize a long thread.
