Telegram for macOS

Telegram for macOS provides a desktop client for the cloud‑based messaging service, allowing users to send and receive messages, media, and files from a Mac computer. The application mirrors the functionality of the mobile versions, supporting instant chat, group conversations, and channel subscriptions while keeping data synchronized across devices. It is distributed through the Mac App Store and is released under the GPL v2 license, with its source code hosted on GitHub.

The client emphasizes rapid performance and encrypted communication, aiming to deliver a responsive experience for users who prioritize speed and security in their messaging workflow. It includes support for multiple languages and offers minor bug fixes and improvements in its latest 12.6 release.

Designed for macOS, the software integrates with the operating system’s interface and can be used alongside other desktop tools, making it suitable for individuals and teams that require a reliable, cross‑platform messaging solution.
