WhatsApp daily recap

Every evening, the day's WhatsApp: plans made, questions waiting, noise skipped.

The on-demand catch-up, made a habit: every evening at your time, pally sweeps the day's WhatsApp and sends the plans that firmed up, the questions still waiting on you, and nothing else.

The routine

How it works

Pick an evening time and ask pally to make WhatsApp catch-up a daily habit. The setup is one message, and the recap then follows that schedule without waiting for you to remember to request it after another crowded day of chats.

At recap time, pally looks across the day's WhatsApp conversations for developments with a consequence: a plan that became definite, a date that moved, a question still waiting on you, or a promise you made. High-volume chatter that changes nothing does not need a place in the summary.

The result arrives as one private, compact note. People and group threads are named beside the relevant update, so you can tell where the plan came from and what deserves an answer. The goal is a usable end-of-day view, not a compressed transcript of every message.

Act on any line by replying. Ask for more context from a thread, draft an answer to the waiting person, or change what tomorrow's recap should prioritize. A WhatsApp response is held for your review, and pally asks before it sends anything back into the conversation.

Before you start

Common questions

Will the recap include every WhatsApp message?+

No. It focuses on decisions, changed plans, open questions, and other developments that need your attention. You can ask for more detail on one thread if the short version leaves out context you want.

Can I change when it arrives?+

Yes. Tell pally the new time or which days should receive the recap. You can also pause the routine and restart it later without redefining what matters from the beginning.

Can I answer someone from the recap?+

Yes. Ask pally to draft the WhatsApp reply and adjust its wording in the same thread. The finished text stays pending until you approve sending it.
