Telegram Reader Skill

Read your Telegram messages directly from the macOS app's local database. No bot token, no API, no export — just your own data on your own machine.

How It Works

The Telegram macOS app (Keepcoder) stores all messages in an encrypted SQLite database using SQLCipher. This skill:

1. Decrypts the .tempkeyEncrypted key file using AES-256-CBC (password: "no-matter-key" unless Passcode Lock is set)
2. Opens the encrypted database with SQLCipher4 + raw key + plaintext header
3. Parses Telegram's Postbox binary format to extract readable text
4. Maps peer IDs to contact names from the peers table
