Numbers are from my M1 Pro, same account in both apps. Memory is macOS footprint (median of 3 runs), launch is time until the window shows up on a warm start. Built it solo with a lot of help from Claude, Codex and friends.
I wanted a better Telegram client, so I built one.
It's called Quill. on mac it opens about 4x faster than Telegram Desktop and uses about a 3x-5x less memory. The whole UI runs on the GPU with @zeddotdev 's GPUI + gpui-kit.
more cool stuff: HDR photos support, superb RTL language support, optional local agentic control (MCP)
Free, open source, and it runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. ready to try:
