Forkgram adds no telemetry, no analytics, no crash-reporting, and no third-party network endpoints on top of upstream Telegram for Android. All traffic goes only to Telegram's official servers.

You can download binaries from Releases or from my Telegram channel Forkgram.

Every APK published in Releases is built on a GitHub-hosted runner and signed with a Sigstore attestation, with the signing record stored in the public Rekor transparency log. You can use it to confirm that a given APK was produced by this repository's CI from a specific commit.

Requirements: GitHub CLI authenticated with gh auth login.

gh release download <tag> -R Forkgram/TelegramAndroid -p 'ForkClient.*.apk'
gh attestation verify ForkClient.<version>.apk --repo Forkgram/TelegramAndroid

What the attestation proves:

• the APK bytes match the digest signed by CI (no post-build tampering);
• it was built by .github/workflows/tandroid.yml on a GitHub-hosted runner, from the Forkgram/TelegramAndroid repository (matched by numeric ID, so renames cannot spoof it);
• the exact commit SHA the build was made from, linkable on GitHub.
