What is tgt?
tgt is a terminal user interface (TUI) client for Telegram, written in Rust. It provides a full-featured messaging experience directly in the terminal, allowing users to navigate chats, send messages, view media, and play voice notes without leaving the command-line environment. It solves the need for a lightweight, keyboard-driven alternative to graphical desktop applications, especially useful for remote server use or terminal-centric workflows.
Developers, system administrators, and power users who primarily work in the terminal, prefer keyboard-driven interfaces, or need to access Telegram on remote servers without a graphical desktop. It is also suitable for users seeking a minimal, configurable messaging client.
Developers choose tgt for its native terminal integration, offering a consistent experience across Linux, macOS, and Windows with features like image rendering and voice message playback. Its customizable configuration, XDG-style paths, and multiple installation options (Cargo, Docker, AUR, NixOS) provide flexibility and control not always available in graphical clients.
