# The idea
**Thread-Watcher** is a 100% free and open source discord bot allowing you to keep threads and forum posts un-archived forever. 

From the start Thread-Watcher has always been designed to be an easy bot with only one purpose: keeping threads un-archived. You will not find any moderation features, meme commands, or any other bs in this bot. It does one thing and it does it good.

- Want to keep all threads created in a channel un-archived? **Thread-Watcher can do that.**
- Only want threads with a certain tag to stay un-archived? **Thread-Watcher can do that.**
- Want a bot with moderation and other fun features? **Thread-Watcher** __**can't**__ **do that.**

## Thread-Watcher ❤ open source

Thread-Watcher has and will always be an open source bot. In layman's terms this means you can see, download, and modify the code that Thread-Watcher uses. If there's any feature you miss from the official Thread-Watcher instance you can, with the required know-how, modify the bot and host it for yourself without trouble.  

If you need help with your self hosted instance of Thread-Watcher you are always welcome to look for support in the [support server](https://threadwatcher.xyz/devserver)
