Save stek29/8a7ac0e673818917525ec4031d77a713 to your computer and use it in GitHub Desktop.
Big thanks for the working script! was able to retrieve all the messages on Mac. Please direct me how do I acquire the dump from IOS? only found belkasoft which looks difficult to get
It did the job for me to recover some accidentally deleted messages. Thank you!
Hey @stek29,
Thank you for the original research and examples — it saved me a headache today. A family member accidentally removed a chat, but we managed to keep a Mac offline long enough to recover the local cache. Your work made it possible to build a clean, user‑friendly tool that exports Telegram (macOS) chats to HTML, Markdown, or CSV.
I’ve published it here to help others in the same situation:

You’re credited in the README. If you see anything worth improving, feel free to open an issue or PR.
Thanks again — this was hugely helpful.
Hey @soakes, that's amazing, thank you for sharing!
Just in case I'd like to clarify that I absolutely do not mind since this gist didn't state any license.
A minor suggestion is not to call the app "Telegram Desktop" since Telegram Desktop is the name of the cross-platform Qt app (named Telegram Lite in App Store for some reason) to avoid confusion — the native Telegram macOS app is different from Telegram Desktop.

Hi @stek29
Great catch!
Will rename it later today.
Any ideas what we shell call it?
In brew its just called telegram, in the app its just called the same.
Open to suggestions for app name and repo name.
I will also adjust the documentation to make sure its clear which version its for.
Update
I have just made some adjustments, see what you think.

@ianwongkj @aromanyuk works fine for me on 11.13.273693 Stable. Maybe you're trying to pass cloud password instead of default
no-matter-key?
