Looking for a Catch Me Up replacement?
Catch Me Up ran for nearly eight years and a lot of servers still have it sitting in their member list, quietly not answering. If you are here because a command stopped working, this page is the short version of what to do about it.
Catch Me Up shut down on 31 May 2026.
That is its developers’ own announcement, not our reading of a quiet changelog — the notice is still served by Discord on the application itself. Every claim on this page is sourced at the bottom, including that one.
The short version
One command, and nothing to configure.
Summary Bot does the job you are missing: it reads what happened while you were away and hands back a short summary, with a jump link to every message it drew from.
/catchup runs with no options. It starts from your last message, summarizes what happened since, and tells you exactly what it covered. There is no API key to paste, no setup command to run first, and no dashboard to fill in — which matters more than it sounds when you are replacing something in a server that has already lost one bot this year.
It only ever reads what you can already read. Every request checks your permissions before the bot’s own, so it cannot show you a channel you could not have opened yourself.
Message content is held in memory for a single interaction and never written down. The database stores settings, entitlements and usage counts — not transcripts, questions, prompts, or anything derived from your messages.
Switching
What carries over, and what does not.
The honest answer to the question everyone asks second.
Nothing carries over. We have no affiliation with Catch Me Up, no access to whatever it stored, and no way to import your settings, history, or saved configuration. Anyone claiming otherwise is guessing.
The good news is that there is nothing to migrate. Summary Bot reads Discord directly, so the entire switch is: remove the bot that stopped answering, add this one, and run /catchup. Your server keeps its history because its history was always Discord’s, not the bot’s.
Every server starts with 2,000 free credits and 3 free /ask questions, which is enough to find out whether the summaries are any good before deciding anything. There is no card involved in that, and no trial that quietly becomes a subscription — paid plans are bought through Discord, deliberately.
Sources
Where every claim here came from.
Bot directories keep listing products for months after they stop running, so a listing proves nothing. These are the sources, and the date each was read.

If something here is out of date — including Catch Me Up coming back — tell us in the community server and this page changes.
Try it on the channel you actually fell behind on.
That is the only test that tells you anything.
