Afterword for Telegram
Message continuity for deletions
The Telegram client that remembers what the other side erased.
Afterword creates a local record of messages that already reached your device. If a contact edits or deletes the original, your archive still shows the first seen version, the change, and the deletion timestamp.

The brief
Not spyware. A personal archive for messages that already reached you.
Afterword is designed for users who need an accurate record of their own conversations. It keeps data on-device, never relies on screenshots, and gives you a clear deletion trail without routing chat history through a third-party server.
Operations
When approvals happen in chat
Retain the original wording of logistics, pricing, and shipping instructions for your own records.
Support
When the context disappears
Search deleted clarifications without relying on screenshots or manual note-taking.
Product principles
- Local-first by default
- No contact scraping
- No server-side message relay
- Built for records, not surveillance
How it works
01
Connect your account
Sign in with Telegram on your own machine. Afterword never proxies your chats through our servers.
02
Archive what reaches you
Messages are indexed locally as they appear. If the contact later edits or deletes them, your record stays intact.
03
Search the deletion trail
Filter by contact, date, or delete event and export a clean archive when you need to share evidence.
Launch offer
$19 for lifetime access during the first release window.
Buy once, receive the macOS build first, and keep future updates as the iPhone companion and export workflows ship.
