Talekeep backs up your conversations into a private, encrypted archive you own — starting with Telegram, built for every messenger. Browse it offline, search it, and ask any AI about your history.
Why this exists. Apps get acquired. Services sunset. Terms change. Accounts get locked. It happens quietly, on someone else's schedule — and years of conversations can disappear with them.
Your conversations are your memory. They shouldn't depend on any company staying in business — including ours. That's why Talekeep keeps them in an open, encrypted file you hold, readable with or without us.
Local-first and encrypted (AES-GCM). Stored in a folder you choose, protected by a key only you control — with a recovery code so you're never locked out. No Talekeep servers. We couldn't read your messages if we wanted to.
Full conversations — text, photos, videos, files — in a portable archive that's yours for good. Browse offline like a normal chat app, even years later.
Ask questions across your entire history — answered by Apple's built-in AI model running entirely on your Mac (works offline; nothing is sent anywhere). Or bring your own model, or connect Claude and other AI apps via MCP. Your archive becomes a memory any AI can use.

On your Mac, in a folder you choose (or the app's own container by default). Message text is encrypted at rest. Nothing is uploaded to us — Talekeep operates no servers.
No. There is no account, no telemetry, and no server. Your archive never leaves your device unless you copy it.
Talekeep connects as your own Telegram application — nothing is proxied through us. It takes ~2 minutes at my.telegram.org and the app walks you through it.
Telegram is supported today. AI-chat import (ChatGPT, Claude) and more messengers are on the roadmap above — Plus subscribers get new connectors as they ship.
By default, Ask AI uses Apple's built-in model running directly on your Mac — it works offline and your messages never leave your machine. You can instead bring your own API key (a cloud service, or a local model server you run), or enable the read-only MCP server so AI apps like Claude Desktop can search your archive — each option behind explicit consent, active only while you keep it on.
Delete the archive folder. That's it — it's a file on your disk, not an account.
