Telegram for macOS is the official native desktop client for Telegram chats, groups, channels, and calls. It brings the service’s cloud-synced messaging to a Mac interface with desktop notifications and file sharing.

Sign in with a Telegram account, continue chats from other devices, send files or media, and manage group or channel conversations from the desktop. Telegram also distributes a separate cross-platform desktop client, so this listing specifically points to its native macOS app.

Features

Continue regular cloud chats across Mac and mobile devices.
Use groups, channels, saved messages, media, and file sharing.
Make supported voice and video calls from the Mac.
Use Telegram’s native macOS application distributed through its official site and Mac App Store.

Where it fits

Telegram fits people and communities already using the service. It is useful for fast multi-device communication, though its privacy model differs from an end-to-end encrypted messenger by default.

Privacy and requirements

Regular Telegram cloud chats are stored by Telegram so they can sync across devices; do not assume every conversation is end-to-end encrypted. Review current Secret Chat availability and account security before sharing sensitive material. The native macOS client is open source under GPLv2.

Pricing

Telegram for macOS is free. Optional Telegram Premium features are sold separately by the service.
