Chan Thread Watch

If you find an interesting thread on an imageboard, you may wish to archive the page, along with all media content, as well as watch it for new posts and save anything that is added in the future.

Chan Thread Watch should be just what you need if that is the case, as it enables you to easily archive entire imageboard threads and save media files. Moreover, it can watch them and download new content as soon as it is posted.

The application supports a number of popular chan-style imageboards, so you can save content from multiple sources. You have the option of either saving the entire web page, which can be browsed later, or only downloading images and videos.

All you need to do is copy the web page’s URL and add it to the list, and it is also possible to provide login credentials if they are required. What’s more, watched threads can be organized into multiple categories.

You can specify how often the program should check the added URLs in order to find new posts, and the operation can continue even while the application is minimized to the system tray.

Thread folders can be renamed based on various parameters, such as their description, category or the parent thread’s description.

To ensure nothing is lost, you can also have the application perform regular backups of the thread list. If no new threads are added, the program can even skip the backup.

On the whole, Chan Thread Watch is a very useful tool that enables you to grab content from imageboard threads with very little effort. It offers numerous customization options, and it can also monitor threads and download newly-added content automatically.
