Current product release: IntelGram v19 - Exact Telegram Disguise Identity. IntelGram versions count product updates sequentially from v1; AyuGram Desktop v6.7.8 remains the upstream source version.

• Search messages, media metadata, links, and filenames already received by IntelGram with an on-device full-text vault and a unified inbox across signed-in accounts.
• Use jump-to-date, conversation statistics, compact media history, saved moments, and locally observed message edit/deletion history.
• Organize work with smart folders, private contact notes and reminders, opt-in public identity snapshots, local rules, and anti-spam review.
• Set per-chat tags, priority, download behavior, read reminders, local-only draft preference, and local notification muting.
• Export selected messages, a chat, or an account to HTML, PDF, Markdown, JSON, or ZIP; create an AES-256-GCM encrypted Frozen Account Backup with permitted cached media.
• Browse visual theme cards and cloud themes inside IntelGram, import or remove custom themes, choose any local image as the chat background, preview wallpaper changes, and select IntelGram app icons.
• Turn on Liquid Glass with cached native or local-image blur, adaptive tint and contrast, wallpaper-colored diffusion, moving specular highlights, edge refraction, subtle grain, and an optional removable local background image.
• Make the interface more lively with Quick Snap, Smooth Flow, Diabolical, Springy, or the optional high-elasticity Liquid Bounce preset while preserving reduced-motion and power-saving behavior.
• Triple-click anywhere on the blue IntelGram Desktop version heading to switch the app's visible identity to Telegram Desktop while keeping every enabled local profile, collectible, badge, and channel presentation active.
• Keep disguise mode stable through window activation and @username navigation on macOS, with the running app titled Telegram and a correctly sized rounded-square Telegram Dock icon.
• Render a local display name, UID, primary username, up to 20 other usernames, anonymous number, bio, profile photo, and native Telegram badge presentation for your own account.
• Show a public channel on your own profile as a clearly labeled local showcase, then open its private local-only workspace to create, edit, pin, copy, or delete local posts, attach local files, and customize a local title, description, and photo without changing Telegram.
• Enable Local ownership from any broadcast channel's IntelGram submenu to reveal the native broadcast composer and Manage actions, then place persistent local text broadcasts directly in that channel's real timeline with native reply, edit, pin, reaction, copy, delete, and selection controls without sending them to Telegram.
• Clone the visible profile presentation of a user already loaded in IntelGram by entering their UID, including Premium, verified, SCAM, FAKE, DIRECT, emoji-status, organization-verification, and personal-channel presentation.
• Find an already-loaded user by UID or by a phone number that is visible to your account, directly from the normal chat-list search field.
• Browse every collection reported by Telegram's live collectible catalog, inspect exact numbered gifts in a scrollable native grid, and paste Telegram, Getgems, or TON item links.
• Feature one collectible as the local profile backdrop and pin up to six around the local avatar.
• Open locally featured and cloned gift details with your currently rendered display name in both the recipient link and Telegram profile chip; the compact profile card also uses your local photo, phone, usernames, bio, and personal channel.
• Show your active local or cloned display name beside the local avatar in collectible username and anonymous-number owner chips.
• Work through grouped Identity, Usernames, bio and contact, Profile photo, and Collectibles settings instead of one long control list.
• Keep the name-color preview synchronized with the locally rendered display name.
• Choose the pink IntelGram icon, its profile-art variant, or any of twelve supplied color variants from the in-app icon picker.
• Read the latest changes and main feature summary from a bundled update log inside IntelGram.
• Open the IntelGram community and project links directly from settings, with an optional local supporter badge after you join @intelgrams yourself.
• Preserve Telegram's Restrict Saving Content and self-destruct rules: protected bodies and media never enter the vault, rules, exports, or backups.
• Keep every profile override client-render-only, with no Telegram profile, ownership, contact, channel-join, or account mutation.

View the latest release, checksums, and validation logs.

• macOS: open the DMG, drag IntelGram.app to Applications, then Control-click Open on first launch if Gatekeeper asks. The community build is ad-hoc signed, not Apple-notarized.
• Windows: extract IntelGram-Windows-x64.zip and run IntelGram.exe. Keep the files from the ZIP together.
• Linux: extract IntelGram-Linux-x64.tar.gz and run IntelGram.

Open IntelGram Preferences and click anywhere on the blue IntelGram Desktop v... heading three times within 1.2 seconds to enable Telegram disguise mode. The trigger counts physical mouse clicks across the heading instead of relying on text-link activation. IntelGram immediately returns to Telegram's normal Settings screen and changes the visible app name, logo, Dock or taskbar icon, tray icon, window title, menus, About surface, and drawer footer to Telegram Desktop. On macOS, the running Dock identity is titled exactly Telegram. Your enabled local profile, collectible, badge, and local channel presentation stays active.

To restore IntelGram, open the main drawer and click the Telegram Desktop footer three times within 1.2 seconds. The footer uses the same physical-click handling. The selection is saved locally across restarts and sends no Telegram account or profile request.

On macOS, the current release also prevents disguise mode's hidden Ghost Mode menu actions from being touched during focus changes and keeps the own-profile username QR subscription independent of temporary profile-layout state. Opening an @username, switching windows, and refreshing local usernames no longer uses either invalid callback path. The Telegram Dock artwork is rendered directly from the full rounded-square image instead of passing through the adaptive icon style that placed it inside a second white tile.

Open IntelGram Preferences -> Local Profile & Collectibles to configure:

• Local display name
• Local UID
• Local primary username
• Up to 20 local usernames
• Local anonymous number
• Local bio and profile photo
• Automatic or manually selected local profile badges, emoji status, and organization verification icon
• Local profile cloning by the UID of a user already opened in IntelGram
• An optional public-channel showcase rendered only on your local profile, with a private local posting workspace
• A featured collectible gift and up to six pinned collectible gifts

In the main chat-list search field, paste a UID, id: UID, or a visible phone number. IntelGram checks only profiles already loaded in this client and shows the matching profile row under Found by ID or phone. Phone and UID lookup does not import contacts or send a profile lookup request.

Clicking your username opens an editor that matches Telegram's native Username dialog: the same @username field, inline validation row, explanatory copy, spacing, and Save/Cancel actions. Saving still changes only IntelGram's local render value and sends no username check or account-update request to Telegram.

The collectible picker opens as a native visual collection gallery. Choose a collection card to open a scrollable grid of its exact numbered collectibles, click any artwork to select it without leaving IntelGram, or paste a supported Telegram gift slug, t.me/nft link, Getgems item URL, or TON NFT address. IntelGram resolves the collectible read-only, shows its native Collection #Number profile tooltip, and uses Telegram's native collectible detail view when clicked. For a locally selected or cloned gift, the detail view presents both the recipient link and Telegram profile chip as your real or enabled local display name, with both opening your own locally rendered profile. The compact profile card uses the active local photo, phone, usernames, bio, and personal channel; the gift's actual ownership, sender, date, and transaction data are not changed.

The local-profile page is split into focused identity, contact, photo, and collectible groups. IntelGram Preferences -> Appearance & Backgrounds contains visual theme cards, the in-app cloud theme gallery, a visible action for removing the selected custom theme, a live chat-background preview, Telegram's wallpaper gallery, local-image selection, tiling controls, and the IntelGram app-icon picker. Navigation & Layout separately contains chat-folder, tray, and drawer controls. macOS uses full-bleed platform artwork without a duplicate white frame or inset. The name-color editor uses your currently rendered local display name in its preview.

Open IntelGram Preferences -> Glass & Motion for the optical-material controls. Liquid Glass can independently soften the chat list/sidebar, message surfaces, and menus/dialogs, then layer adaptive tint and contrast, wallpaper-colored diffusion, cursor-reactive highlights, moving reflections, refractive edges, and fine anti-banding grain over native desktop blur or a removable local whole-app image. The backdrop and scaled-cover image are cached, while slow decorative highlights use a paced 30 Hz refresh and stop when the window is hidden, inactive, or reduced motion is enabled. Telegram's normal scrolling and interaction animations remain on their independent display-synced path.

Enhanced Animations applies one selected pack across existing IntelGram transitions, dialogs, drawers, controls, and navigation. Quick Snap is compact and immediate, Smooth Flow is calm and critically damped, Diabolical is brisk with stronger depth, Springy settles gently without overshoot, and Liquid Bounce adds the most elastic lift with a controlled overshoot. The optional window-opening fade follows the same accessibility gate. Turning either master switch off restores normal IntelGram appearance or motion immediately.

Choose a local image to replace your own profile photo throughout this IntelGram installation. Open Profile badges to leave badge rendering on Automatic, hide the primary badge, or locally select Premium, verified, SCAM, FAKE, or DIRECT. Optional Telegram document IDs render a custom emoji status and organization-verification symbol using Telegram's native badge artwork.

Profile cloning accepts the UID of a user whose profile has already been opened and locally mirrors their visible name, UID, usernames, phone, bio, photo, profile colors, every supported primary badge, organization-verification symbol, emoji status, personal channel, and featured collectible. After selection, IntelGram performs Telegram's standard read-only full-profile refresh for that already-known user so visible badge and personal-channel metadata can render immediately. If the source profile lacks a badge, status, or personal channel, IntelGram clears that element from the cloned local view. Stop cloning at any time to return to the individual local fields.

The local channel showcase accepts a public @channel or t.me link, resolves that public channel through Telegram's normal read-only lookup, and renders it only on your own profile in this IntelGram installation. Click the showcased channel or choose Open local channel to enter its local workspace. You can create text posts, attach local files, edit or delete posts, pin highlights, copy text, open local attachments, and configure a local title, description, and photo. Workspaces are stored separately for up to eight selected channels and remain available after restarting IntelGram.

The workspace is deliberately labeled Local-only channel and the profile row remains labeled Local showcase. It does not make you the owner or an administrator, publish a Telegram message, join the channel, change its public information, create invites, grant permissions, or alter what anybody else sees.

For a native owner-style view of an existing broadcast channel, open that channel's three-dot menu, choose IntelGram -> Local ownership, and enable the switch. IntelGram exposes Telegram's Broadcast a message... composer, owner-style Manage channel actions, and persistent local text broadcasts in the channel's actual timeline. Join, Leave, and Report rows are suppressed while the mode is active. Right-clicking a local broadcast opens the native reaction strip and owner-style Reply, Edit, Pin/Unpin, Copy Text, Copy Post Link, Forward, Delete, and Select actions. Replies, edits, pins, reaction counts, and local links persist across restarts.

The ownership panel's Broadcast engagement editor sets starting views, a maximum, the increment size, the interval, six baseline reaction counts, and a paid-Star display count. Views rise locally until the selected maximum, while clicks in the native reaction strip increment only the selected local counter. No view, reaction, payment, pin, edit, delete, or post request is sent to Telegram.

This native mode is separate from the profile showcase workspace. Text posts are intercepted before Telegram's send path and stored in IntelGram's local vault. Media, files, voice messages, stickers, inline results, direct forwarding of synthetic message IDs, and scheduled posts are blocked so they cannot upload or mutate the channel. The local Forward row copies the post into a safe text handoff instead of submitting the synthetic record to Telegram. Turning the switch off removes the injected local posts and restores the ordinary subscriber view; turning it back on restores the locally stored posts.

The IntelGram settings page links to @intelgrams, this GitHub repository, and both changelogs. Joining the channel is an explicit Telegram action: open the channel and press Telegram's normal Join button. IntelGram then derives the supporter badge from the locally known membership state; it never joins a channel in the background.

Open IntelGram Preferences -> Update log to read the latest update, main IntelGram features, and local-only privacy boundary without leaving the app. The dialog also provides an optional link to the complete GitHub changelog.

IntelGram Preferences is grouped into Customize, Power tools, and Client settings:

• Vault & Search: current-account or all-account vault search, unified inbox, smart folders, jump-to-date, statistics, media history, revisions, and saved moments.
• Contacts & Automation: private notes, tags, relationship context, reminders, opt-in identity history, configurable local rules, rule activity, and privacy controls.
• Export & Backup: normal local exports and encrypted Frozen Account Backup.
• Appearance & Backgrounds: native theme previews, cloud themes, custom theme import/removal, wallpaper gallery, local background images, live preview, and app icons.
• Glass & Motion: adaptive Liquid Glass, native blur, local window backdrops, optical-material controls, and five global motion presets.
• Advanced & Maintenance: diagnostics, URL registration, and resetting IntelGram settings.

Select one or more ordinary messages and use Export selected messages from the context menu to create a scoped export. In a protected chat, the same action records only basic metadata and a jump-back reference.

These controls only change how your own profile is rendered inside this IntelGram installation. They do not change your Telegram display name, photo, bio, username, UID, phone number, emoji status, collectible ownership, or profile data. Other Telegram users do not see the local overrides.

The vault processes content this client has already received. It does not fetch hidden history or bypass Telegram restrictions. Restrict Saving Content and self-destructing media are never copied into search text, rule payloads, media archives, or backups; only a local reference remains so you can return to the original message.

The implementation contains no Telegram account/profile mutation request, contact import, automatic channel join, server-side channel ownership or permission mutation, or collectible transaction. Local ownership changes only this client's controls and local history; it does not set creator/admin flags or submit its broadcasts, views, reactions, Stars, pins, or edits. Clone metadata refresh, public-channel showcase lookup, and collectible catalog/detail requests are read-only. Normal Telegram account editing remains available whenever the corresponding IntelGram local override is disabled.

All packages are built from the official AyuGram Desktop v6.7.8 source at commit b25513a06ff88be0b3f4c928252b56c3da39cec7, with its required submodules.

• macOS: Apple Silicon .app, ad-hoc signed, launch tested, packaged as DMG and ZIP
• Windows: x64 IntelGram.exe, launch tested, packaged as ZIP
• Linux: x64 IntelGram, launch tested under Xvfb, packaged as tar.gz

IntelGram uses its own visible application name, macOS bundle ID, Windows application ID, and Linux desktop ID so it can coexist with a normal AyuGram installation. Liquid Glass uses a native behind-window material on macOS, the Windows DWM backdrop where available, and the desktop compositor's ARGB transparency on Linux. A cached local-image fallback is available on every platform.
