Remember the legacy - reviving the best telegram client out there! :) Source: https://github.com/CatogramX Official chat: @catoxchat Public betas: @catoxbeta
Hey everyone, I'm sorry to announce this, but:
This project is frozen for an unknown amount of time.
The reason?
The new Telegram for Android developer introduced so many bugs it's not fun to develop this app at all.
I mean, probably everyone is affected by one of the many bugs in Telegram.
Examples:
- /channel/catoxchat/9821
- /channel/catoxchat/16486
- https://bugs.telegram.org/c/12980
- The well-known memory leak
I can give many more if needed…
I know this probably pisses off many of you, but I just had to do it. Having the project be a zombie filled with bugs isn't worth it either.
Goodbye - for now…
(P.S.: Go give @OwlGram a try while I'm away. It's a great client)
Finally a new stable release!
Changelog & Download: https://github.com/CatogramX/CatogramX/releases/tag/cx_4.1.2
We, as well, have a website now (thanks @sxndwl): https://catox.eu.org
and a new icon (thanks @qirkl)
Thanks to all the public & private beta testers!
How can you help?
- Contribute to the code
https://github.com/CatogramX/CatogramX
- Help translating to your language
https://translate.nift4.org/projects/catogram-x/
- Test the public betas
/channel/catoxbeta
- Spread the word
A lot of Catogram users are not aware that this exists 😉
Hey there, listen up! Since a good while, I am recruiting beta testers again.
General beta tester requirements:
- Do NOT leak my betas. This is hard work, and stuff is closed beta only for a reason.
- Ability to submit crash logs if the app crashes.
- English knowledge, the closed beta group is english only as well.
- Understanding that beta testing is not the same as feature preview. I had builds that were totally broken.
Current areas where testers are needed (if you have one of them, you have a higher chance of geing accepted):
- Android 12 or newer
- Physical SD card users
If you think you fit that criteria and want to beta test, you can send a short message why I should choose you in my pm (@nift4)
cheers
DON'T DO THIS ANYMORE

Update 2: everything is up and working now! Make sure to check your spam folder 😉
If you registered before, you have to do it again
Edit: here is another update I am not sending an notification for. I imported the original Catogram translations into Weblate as well, so you can complete translation of Catogram strings into your language. Enjoy!

To everyone currently in the Ukraine:
Make sure to NOT panic, Take deep breaths, otherwise this will increase anxiety and cause you to be less aware of your surroundings.
Make sure to stock up on food and have a source of water.
Stay safe out there, and good luck to everyone endangered by the current situation.
Effective right now: translate.nift4.ml moved domains over to translate.nift4.org - that's it for today
