Message context
Saved items can keep message text, sender details, reply context and reaction counts so media does not lose its surrounding conversation.
New in v1.12Browser-assisted Discord archives
Save Discord history you can already access.
Install the StreamStash bookmarklet, open a Discord channel or DM in your browser, click the bookmark, choose a group, and capture visible history into a local archive with messages, media, replies and reactions.
Manual import for conversations you can open.
Discord is different from public social feeds, so StreamStash does not pretend it is a background scraper. You run the bookmarklet from a channel or DM page, it reads the conversation information already visible in your browser, then StreamStash downloads media locally and organises it with the rest of your archive.
Gentler capture
The bookmarklet scrolls and waits for Discord to load messages, then lets StreamStash continue attachment downloads after capture is handed off.
Library integration
Captured channels and DMs become browsable records instead of a flat export folder full of mystery filenames.
Access boundary: StreamStash only archives channels and DMs you can already open. It does not bypass Discord permissions, private servers, login requirements or access controls.
Rate-limit posture: Discord archiving is manual by design. StreamStash does not run a Discord bot or poll Discord continuously, so capture only happens when you open a conversation and start the bookmarklet yourself.
Built as an import flow, not a bot.
Discord is not a public feed, so StreamStash treats it differently. You open the channel or DM yourself, the bookmarklet captures visible history and conversation details, and StreamStash turns that into a local archive.
Conversation context
Discord media is rarely useful without the message around it. StreamStash keeps enough context to understand why a file was saved later.
- Message text, sender and timestamp
- Reply context where available
- Reaction counts and attachment metadata
Local media archive
After capture, StreamStash downloads attachments into your chosen storage and keeps them tied to the message that referenced them.
- Downloaded images, videos and other attachments
- Media cards in the StreamStash player
- Review tools for separating useful media from noise
How a Discord archive is created.
The process stays explicit so you know exactly which channel or DM is being archived and which history your browser has made visible.
Install bookmarklet
Add the StreamStash bookmark to the browser where you use Discord.
Run on Discord
Open a channel or DM you can already access and click the bookmark from that page.
Confirm import
Choose capture settings and a group, then StreamStash stores messages, replies, reactions and attachment references locally.
Download media
Attachments are saved into your archive and become searchable, playable and groupable.
Discord archives are a Power feature.
Power unlocks every supported source category, including Discord archives, forums, Reddit, Snapchat and web media, plus AI search and deduplication across your saved library.
Discord archiving FAQ.
No. It is a browser-assisted archive flow for channels and DMs you can already open. It is not a server bot that joins channels for you.
No. StreamStash does not bypass Discord permissions, private servers, login requirements or access controls.
Yes. It can save message text, sender details, timestamps, replies, reaction counts and downloaded attachments.
The bookmarklet captures visible loaded history from your browser session. Very large channels or DMs may need a deliberate scroll-and-capture pass rather than a single instant import.
Turn visible Discord history into a local archive.
Capture the Discord conversations you can already access, keep attachments locally, and browse them beside the rest of your StreamStash library.
