About

Replies posted as new channel messages kill context. Thread Police spots them and privately nudges the author. One click on "Move to thread" reposts it in the right thread under their name and avatar. Nobody else sees a thing, and anyone can opt out. Free, open source (MIT), private, self-hosted, and no telemetry. Runs on your own machine or server, needs no public URL, and never stores message content. Paste one prompt into your AI agent and it does the whole setup.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
