Are videos included in-line?

Apologies but i couldn't see anything about videos.

Yes. See the attachments section in features.md.

Awesome. I've got a 400gb messages library. Reckon that'll be a problem? I wonder whether i can also get it to parse the Chatology backups I had before iCloud messages was a thing.

It should be fine if you have enough disk space to copy it all. If you run into any issues, please open an issue!

I don't support whatever Chatology is. This project addresses iMessage data only.

Sure thing.
Chatology was a way of archiving and searching imessages before it was possible or easy. I forget when exactly it came in but it was discontinued in 2020. I still have my archives though.

I would argue that is still not easy!

This software looks cool. I am sad that it was discontinued.
