Overview
OpenCode Telegram Bot is a Telegram chat bot that connects to the OpenCode coding agent running on your own computer. You type a task in Telegram; OpenCode does the work on your computer and the bot sends back its progress, questions and changed files. You can switch projects, sessions and models, approve permissions with buttons and schedule tasks to run later. It suits OpenCode users who want to keep work going while away from their desk.
It runs on your own computer and answers only the Telegram user ID you set; the maker says it opens no ports.

Good to know
You start a coding task in OpenCode and want to follow it, answer its questions and send the next prompt from your phone. The bot relays prompts, status, permission requests and changed files between Telegram and the OpenCode server on your computer.
Limits
- The bot and OpenCode both run on your computer, so that computer has to stay on and connected. OpenCode V1 and V2 use different server settings, and the bot does not detect the version on its own.
- Custom local commands you add run with the bot's own permissions on your computer. Add only commands you wrote or have read.
