The Android app is better when it comes to the UI tho

Here’s the new beta for the iOS version

Introducing Telegram Search Engine 🎉

TSE is a telegram crawler you can build other projects on top of.

Out of the box it comes with:

✅ Channel discovery — keyword "phone" and it will search using that or give it a seed channel -> link-graph crawling (follows mentions, forwards) that snowballs seeds into thousands of channels

✅ AI analysis — a local LLM classifies every channel, writes a summary, no API keys.

✅ Real search — typo-tolerant, relevance-ranked search (Meilisearch)

✅ Quality scoring — channels ranked by activity, content quality, network influence (PageRank) & freshness

✅ Community graph — an interactive, Obsidian-style map of how channels reference each other.

🐳 Self-hosted & open source — one docker (Postgres + search + API + UI).

The live demo explores a frozen snapshot of tech-community channels as a proof of concept.
