telega.el is a full-featured unofficial Telegram client implemented in Emacs Lisp for GNU Emacs, built on top of TDLib. It supports most official client features such as chats, media, stickers, forums, and multiple accounts, with unique Emacs-native filtering and sorting capabilities.

Use cases

  • use telegram from within emacs
  • read and send telegram messages without leaving the editor
  • filter and sort telegram chats like ibuffer
  • manage multiple telegram accounts in emacs
  • block ads in telegram channels

When to choose

  • you live in Emacs and want messaging integrated into your workflow
  • you want powerful keyboard-driven chat filtering, sorting, and customization
  • you prefer a lightweight, hackable Telegram client on Linux/macOS

When to avoid

  • you need full voice/video chat support
  • you want a polished graphical client without Emacs
  • you are not comfortable installing TDLib and Emacs packages
