TgWitness preserves what your Telegram account actually saw, even when a message is edited three times and deleted before breakfast. A collector watches the chats, folders, or whole account you choose and records every captured message, edit version, and deletion notice in a local journal. The workspace reads like a familiar conversation view, with captured edits and deletion markers alongside the messages, and a searchable journal timeline ties observations together across chats. Open the edit history to compare versions side by side without overwriting the earlier observation. Connect people, replies, and shared links across recorded chats to trace how a claim travelled. Each account gets an isolated workspace with its own session and signing key, so separate investigations never contaminate each other. When a case moves, export the record as readable HTML, structured JSON or CSV, or a signed ZIP bundle whose hash-linked, Ed25519-signed records expose any tampering, verifiable offline with an independent fingerprint. Optional local OCR and transcription make media searchable, signed webhooks announce new observations, and encrypted backups copy the journal and timestamped checkpoints to S3-compatible storage. Read-only MCP access lets approved tools query the archive without touching the collector. Coverage reports show honestly where downtime left gaps.
