Hortay: Channels for Telegram

Hortay is an independent reader for Telegram channels — a clean,

social-media-style feed instead of an endless message stream.

No chat clutter. No "suggested" posts. No ads.

✦ Twitter-style feed

One post, photo, reactions — no wading through 800-message group queues.

✦ Posts as written

Quotes, infographics, custom emoji, animated stickers — never clipped,

no "show more" after the third sentence.

✦ Discussions, not avalanches

Comments rendered as threads, like a proper social network. Not an

endless scroll into an 8000-message group chat.

✦ Doesn't eat your storage

A "Storage and traffic" panel shows real numbers — what was downloaded,

what is taking up space. One-tap cache clear.

✦ Fast cold start

Pre-built Baseline Profiles. No jank on 200 channels.

✦ Privacy by default

No analytics, no Firebase, no ad SDKs. Internet is used only to talk

to Telegram. Open source.

Hortay is built on TDLib, Telegram's official open-source client

library. You sign in with your phone number through Telegram's

standard authentication — your account stays on Telegram's servers,

nothing is proxied through a third party.

Hortay is for people who read Telegram channels more than they message.
