Forkgram is a free, open-source Telegram Desktop fork that introduces additional customization and messaging controls. It retains Telegram's core communication features while expanding how users interact with chats and media. The interface uses square avatars and a modified system tray icon. Users can open links through custom URI schemes and keep the application window always on top in Windows. Message controls include automatically selecting deletion for everyone and forwarding content without identifying the original sender. Additional features display detailed online timestamps, forwarded message dates, and recently used stickers. Media navigation includes enhanced keyboard shortcuts and adjustable playback behavior. Forkgram supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
