Cutegram is a completely free and open source graphical software project that has been designed from the offset to act as a Linux client for the Telegram messaging service. It offers an attractive and modern graphical user interface implemented in Qt.

Features at a glance

Key features include support for sending and receiving files, support for the system tray area of many open source desktop environments, native desktop notifications, customizable fonts, Twitter emojis, as well as support for all GNU/Linux operating systems.

Additionally, the software comes with complete drag & drop support for sending files, deleting messages and forwarding messages, an experimental secret chat, and a smooth and beautiful graphical user interface based on the latest QML technologies.

Another interesting features is that the program is independent of a desktop environment, thus supporting GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, Openbox, Fluxbox, and other open source desktop environments/window managers.
