Unofficial Telegram messaging clients

This cluster consists of unofficial Telegram clients offering features like encrypted chat, connection management, video calls, and experimental add-ons. The pre-index entry timeline is sparse and intermittent, with concentrations in early 2022 and late 2023, but overall low frequency. Notgram currently leads in traction with 2 stars, while the other dated members have 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
