Discrawl, currently at version 0.2.0 and offered in two public builds, is a command-line utility that continuously mirrors accessible Discord guild data into a local SQLite database, enabling administrators, researchers, and archivists to search, inspect, and query server history without relying on the platform’s on-line search. Written and maintained by Peter Steinberger, the open-source crawler operates exclusively with a legitimate bot token; no user-token workarounds are involved, and all harvested information remains on the user’s machine. Once authenticated, the program enumerates every guild the bot can see, then incrementally syncs channels, threads, members, and full message history while maintaining up-to-date FTS5 full-text indexes for rapid keyword retrieval. A built-offline member directory is assembled from archived profile payloads, small text-like attachments are extracted into the same searchable index, and structured mentions of users and roles are recorded so that ad hoc SQL queries can reveal interaction patterns or audit events long after messages age out on Discord itself. Live Gateway events are tailed for near-real-time updates, and periodic repair syncs correct any missed or edited content. Although the underlying schema is multi-guild capable, the default interface presents a straightforward single-guild workflow that keeps onboarding friction low. Because the entire pipeline is read-only, analysts can safely run complex investigative or compliance scripts against the local dataset without risking server modification. The tool fits the “Communication” and “Database” software categories, bridging chat archiving with lightweight business-intelligence workflows. Discrawl is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
