Telegrab v1.0.0

The first public release of Telegrab — a Windows desktop app to download, archive, and
document media from Telegram groups, supergroups, and channels. Keep a self-contained, portable
backup of media and conversations that can otherwise disappear when chats or groups are removed.

Read-only against Telegram — Telegrab never sends or modifies anything in your account.

✨ Highlights

  • Bulk & per-file downloads — download a single file, an album, or all loaded media via a
    sequential, rate-limit-friendly queue with FLOOD_WAIT handling.
  • Strict, portable download root — a per-root SQLite manifest (telegrab.db) with media
    stored as relative paths, so the whole folder can be moved to another location or machine.
  • Smart caching & resume — already-downloaded media is skipped and reloaded from disk;
    reopening an existing root restores full history (no migration needed).
  • Media viewer — photo/video preview with zoom & pan (1x–8x) and a filmstrip.
  • Chat documentation as Markdown — per-folder README.md generated from the manifest, with
    in-app preview and editor, marker-preserving regeneration, and external-viewer compatibility.
  • Caption association — own / album / reply / inferred / none, with cross-page reply
    resolution.

📦 Requirements

🚀 Getting started

  1. Launch Telegrab and sign in with your api_id, api_hash, and phone number (the login code
    is sent to your Telegram app, not via SMS).
  2. Choose a download root folder when prompted.
  3. Select a chat or topic, then download individual media or use Download all.

and the CHANGELOG.

⚠️ Notes

  • Telegrab is an independent, unofficial tool and is not affiliated with Telegram.
  • Known limitations and the roadmap (e.g. full-history download, sender names in docs) are
    tracked in Planning.md.
