Telegram bridge for Claude Code and Codex CLI
Enables bidirectional messaging between Telegram and Claude Code or Codex CLI, with session persistence and provider switching—users send prompts via Telegram and receive responses locally without server infrastructure. Uses polling-based message fetching with QR-code-assisted bot pairing (via Cloudflare Quick Tunnel) or manual token setup, storing configuration locally while queuing concurrent messages and forwarding attachments to the active provider. Supports dual CLI/Telegram input streams simultaneously, session resumption, and runtime customization of provider permission modes.
About untether
littlebearapps/untether
Code from anywhere — Telegram bridge for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, Gemini CLI, Amp). Stream progress, approve actions, and send tasks by voice from your phone.
Untether bridges local AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) to Telegram using a stdio transport, enabling agents to stream progress and request approvals while running unattended on your machine. The architecture supports parallel project worktrees, cost budgets with real-time tracking, and voice task submission via Whisper-compatible endpoints. It integrates with six major coding agents and includes a plugin system for custom extensions, allowing configuration and monitoring entirely through Telegram chat.
