Personal use · zero dependencies · your own Claude Code login

Claude Code in your Telegram, by tonight.

Message a bot on your phone → it runs Claude Code in a folder on your computer → the answer comes back. Follow-ups continue the same session. Photos and files go straight in.

What you get

The bridge — one file, Node ≥ 22, no npm install. Long polling: no domain, no port, no tunnel.
One-click setup with a self-test that makes one real Claude Code call before you touch Telegram.
Background service installer for macOS (launchd) and Linux (systemd).
Safety by default — owner allowlist, dontAsk permission mode with a tool allowlist, working-directory roots.
Per-chat sessions — /new /cwd /model /status /cancel; photo / file / voice inbox.
An assistant CLAUDE.md template that keeps replies Telegram-sized.
MISTAKES.md — 14 real mistakes from shipping a paid Telegram product with Claude Code in two weeks.

Who this is for

You already pay for Claude Code. You want it reachable from your phone without renting a server, learning a framework, or trusting a third-party service with your files. You're fine running a script on your own machine.

Not for you if you want a hosted product, a team tool, or a bot for other people — that needs an API key and Anthropic's commercial terms. The bridge works with an API key too, but that's on you.

Honest notes

It runs under your Claude Code login for your use. Read Anthropic's terms if you build a service for others.
Your laptop has to be on. Or a $5 VPS.
Refunds: didn't work on your machine and we couldn't fix it over Telegram within 3 days → full refund.
