Add it
when you need it.
Hoardy itself just saves and organizes. Plugins are optional, official features: one click in the app turns one on, and you can remove it any time without losing its settings.
To install: open Hoardy, go to Settings → Plugins and click Install. Requires Hoardy 0.16.0 or later.
Telegram Channel Sync
New saves are posted to your own Telegram channel automatically, and deleting one in Hoardy removes it from the channel too.

Telegram Channel Sync
A second home for your saves: images, videos, titles, notes and tags are bundled into one post in your channel, so you can scroll and search them on any device.
- Automatic
- Each save is posted once it's parsed. You can also sync a single save from its menu, or send everything that hasn't been synced yet in one go.
- Deletes too
- Delete a save in Hoardy and its post in the channel goes as well. Telegram only lets bots delete posts younger than 48 hours.
- Private space
- Saves in the private space are never posted, and moving a synced save there removes its post from the channel.
- Your data
- Posts go straight from your device to Telegram through your own bot, never through a Hoardy server. The bot token is kept only on your devices and in your own iCloud Drive backup.
- Limits
- Videos over 50 MB are posted as a cover plus a link to the original — that's the Telegram bot upload limit.
Create a bot
In Telegram, open @BotFather, send /newbot, follow the prompts and copy the bot token it gives you.
Create a channel and make the bot an admin
Create a channel (private is fine), add the bot as an administrator and allow it to post messages.
Install the plugin in Hoardy
Go to Settings → Plugins, click Install, then open Telegram Channel Sync.
Fill in and test
Turn on Sync to Telegram Channel, enter the bot token and the channel (@name, or the ID starting with -100), and click Test Connection. When you see your bot and channel names, you're set.
When your iPhone and Mac use the same sync folder, the bot and channel settings follow you to the other device — just install the plugin there too. Saves that arrive from the other device are never posted twice.
