## Description

Discord Chat Exporter is a tool for extracting messages and media from Discord channels and direct messages into offline files. It functions as a backup utility and archival tool, using authentication tokens to retrieve chat history and metadata for long-term storage or history recovery.

The system converts API data into readable documents and supports multi-format export options, including HTML, TXT, CSV, and JSON. It includes capabilities for automated chat backups by creating recurring tasks through the host operating system's task scheduler.

The tool provides data management features such as chat history extraction, media downloading, and export filtering based on date ranges and message content. It is available as both a graphical user interface and a command line tool.
