How it works
Connect once, then never open a browser again
Setup is a short wizard in your browser, because scanning a QR code needs a screen. Everything after that happens inside WhatsApp.
Nothing is read until you have chosen your groups.
Setting up
-
Connect once
Enter your number and scan a QR code, the same way WhatsApp Web works. Nothing is read until you have picked your groups.
-
Pick groups and topics
Choose from your active groups — up to 35 — and optionally tell each one what you care about, like dates, forms, payments.
-
Pick a time
Say when the digest should arrive, in your timezone. From then on it just shows up, and you change anything by replying in WhatsApp.
How the QR connection works
The same mechanism as WhatsApp Web: you scan a code and your own WhatsApp account stays linked. That is why there is no password and no account to create — your phone number is the identity.
- Scan the QR code, or ask for an eight-character pairing code instead
- Your linked device shows up in WhatsApp under Linked Devices, like any other
- You can unlink it from your phone at any time, without asking us
- If the link drops, we send you a reconnect link in WhatsApp
What arrives, and when
One message a day in a private thread called My Daily Digest, covering the last 24 hours of every group you follow.
Changing anything, later
Reply in the digest thread. These are the whole vocabulary — there is no settings screen because there is nothing a settings screen would add.

Questions
Which of my groups does it read?
Only the ones you pick during setup, and only those. You can follow up to 35 groups, and you can add or remove them at any time by replying in WhatsApp. Groups you have not selected are never read.
Do you store my messages?
Messages from your selected groups are encrypted and held for at most 24 hours so the summary can be written, then deleted. The digests themselves are never stored. Nothing is used to train an AI model. The one thing kept longer is message timestamps, with no content, so we can tell which of your groups are still active.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Setup happens once in your browser, by scanning a QR code the same way WhatsApp Web does. After that everything happens inside WhatsApp — there is no app and no dashboard to log into.
Where does the digest arrive?
In a dedicated WhatsApp thread of your own called My Daily Digest. It stays separate from your real conversations, so your digest never lands in a group where other people can see it.
How do I change my groups or my delivery time?
Reply in that same thread. Send groups to see what you follow, add Book Club to follow another, remove Book Club to drop one, topics Book Club: dates, venue to narrow one down, and time 9:00 to move your delivery time.
What language is the digest written in?
Each group is summarised in the language its members actually write in, so a Hebrew group stays in Hebrew and a Spanish group stays in Spanish. You do not have to configure anything for this.
Can I get only certain topics from a group?
Yes. Each group can have its own topic filter, so a busy class group can be reduced to just the dates, deadlines and anything that needs a reply, and everything else is left out.
What does it cost?
You buy digests up front, from $12 for 60. One digest is one day's summary, no matter how many groups you follow. There is no subscription and no renewal date, and your credits never expire.
What happens when I run out?
We warn you in WhatsApp before you run out. Reply topup to buy more, or topup 20 to pick a specific pack. Delivery pauses rather than charging you for anything you did not ask for.
Can I pause it while I am away?
Reply pause to stop delivery and resume to start it again. A paused account does not spend digests.
How do I delete everything?
Reply deletemydata. That removes your account and everything associated with it.
Is this an official WhatsApp product?
No. DigestIt is an independent product from Baan Software and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp or Meta.
