Telegrab v1.0.0 — First public release
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 withFLOOD_WAIThandling. - 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.mdgenerated 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.
