64Gram

64Gram is an unofficial desktop client for Telegram, derived from the official Telegram Desktop application. The project started by providing 64-bit builds for Windows with improvements, and now supports Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. It includes all the features of the official client plus technical additions and tweaks aimed at advanced users.

• Upload speed boost. This feature modifies network parameters to increase the speed of file uploads to Telegram servers. It adjusts the buffer sizes and the number of parallel connections, resulting in faster data transfer when uploading large files.
• Radio controller for streaming. Integration that allows users to act as hosts in audio streams within voice chats, with specific controls for managing playlists and audio stream quality. It facilitates organizing group music sessions.
• Higher bitrate for video and audio. Allows selecting bitrates higher than the defaults for video and audio compression in sent files. This improves the multimedia quality of shared content at the cost of a larger file size.
• Precise timestamps and message IDs. Displays the exact time a message was sent or received with second precision, and reveals the unique numerical identifier (ID) assigned by the system to each message. Essential for debugging tasks or technical reference.
• Display identifiers in Bot API format. Exposes the numerical identifiers of messages, chats, bots, groups, and channels in the format used by the official Telegram Bot API. Simplifies work for developers interacting with the platform via automations.
• Quick access buttons for administrative tasks. Adds direct controls in the interface to perform common administrative actions in groups and channels, such as muting users, deleting messages, or adjusting permissions, without navigating through nested context menus.
• Hide messages from blocked contacts. Removes the history of previous messages from view after blocking a contact. Old messages are kept on the servers but are not shown in the chat window, creating a clear visual separation.
• Built-in updater. An incorporated mechanism that checks for and downloads new software versions directly from the interface. Supports two update channels: stable versions and beta versions for preliminary testing.
• Repeater options. Configuration that allows automatically forwarding incoming messages from one chat to another, based on user-defined rules. Useful for monitoring or duplicating information between conversations.
• Specific performance improvements. Code optimizations that reduce system resource consumption (CPU, RAM) during intensive operations such as loading long chat lists or simultaneously playing multiple media items.
• Native 64-bit support. Specific build for 64-bit processor architectures, allowing for more efficient memory handling and faster processing on modern operating systems compared to 32-bit versions.
• Cross-platform compatibility. The software is available and maintained for the three major desktop operating systems: Microsoft Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions, ensuring a consistent experience across them.

The development of 64Gram began as an initiative to offer 64-bit builds of the official Telegram Desktop client for Windows, given the initial absence of such versions. The developers are a group of independent contributors who maintain the project. The first version was released after the launch of Telegram Desktop, and active development continues. The program is written primarily in C++ and Qt, following the official Telegram source code base, which is publicly available.
