AyuGramDesktop is a modified Telegram desktop client and MTProto messaging client. It functions as a local message logger and a privacy-focused chat tool, providing a fork of the standard C++ Qt client.
The project focuses on unlocking premium features and capabilities locally without a paid subscription. It distinguishes itself through a ghost mode that masks online presence and suppresses read receipts, as well as a system for preserving message history by logging deleted and edited content into a local database.
The client includes tools for content management, such as bypassing restrictions on copying or downloading media and translating messages within chats. It also provides security features to mask sensitive interface elements during screen sharing and offers extensive visual customization for fonts, layouts, and themes.
