## What it is
A command-line tool that queries local WeChat data including chat history, contacts, sessions, and favorites, with on-the-fly SQLCipher decryption that keeps data fully local. It outputs JSON by default and is designed for LLM agent tool-call integration.

## Use cases
- query my wechat chat history from the terminal
- search wechat messages for a keyword
- export wechat chat logs to markdown
- get statistics on my most active wechat contacts
- let an AI agent read my wechat messages
- list unread wechat messages and sessions

## When to choose
- you want programmatic or LLM-agent access to your local WeChat data
- you need chat analytics like top senders or activity charts
- you want to export conversations to Markdown or text with time filters
- you prefer data staying fully on your machine

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical WeChat backup tool
- you want to send or modify WeChat messages rather than read data
- you need a supported binary for platforms other than macOS arm64 and cannot use pip
- you are not the owner of the WeChat account whose data you query
