Forkgram

ForkGram is a maintained fork of the Telegram Desktop messaging client, providing the same core functionality of Telegram’s desktop application while allowing independent development and contributions. It includes the main C++ codebase for the desktop client, as well as related repositories for the Android client, UI library, code generation utilities, and platform‑specific build scripts such as pre‑built macOS libraries. The project aggregates these components under a single GitHub organization, tracking activity and issues across all parts of the suite.

The software is intended for users who prefer the desktop experience of Telegram on macOS, as well as developers who want to experiment with or contribute to Telegram’s source code without affecting the upstream repository. By for the original Telegram Desktop project, ForkGram can implement custom changes, address bugs, or add features while keeping compatibility with Telegram’s network protocol.

What distinguishes ForkGram is its multi‑repository structure that mirrors the official Telegram ecosystem—desktop, Android, iOS, UI controls, and build tooling—while offering a separate, stable macOS‑focused distribution. The repository shows recent commit activity and issue tracking, indicating ongoing maintenance and community involvement.
