Ownership, control, and no lock-in. BotForge generates a complete Telegram bot as TypeScript source that you download and run yourself. There is no platform to depend on, no monthly hosting tied to us, and your bot token never leaves your browser.
Download the full TypeScript project. Read it, edit it, and keep it for as long as you want.
Your machine, a VPS, or a host like Railway or Render. The included guide covers each option.
There is nothing to keep paying BotForge for once your bot is generated and running.
Code generation runs in your browser. The token goes into your local .env, never to our servers.
Pick from 45 features. Here is a sample of what your self-hosted bot can include.
Greet new members with a custom message
Warn users with /warn, auto-action at max warns
New members must solve a captcha or get kicked -- stops bots
Post recurring announcements on a cron schedule
Message counts, active users, growth stats via /stats
Forward questions to an LLM (your own API key, your cost)
Enter your bot name, group, and admins. No code.
Choose from 45 moderation and automation features.
Generate the code in your browser, unzip, and start your bot.
It means you run the bot yourself on hardware you control, rather than on a shared platform. You own the code and decide where it runs.
On your own computer, a VPS, or a compatible cloud host like Railway or Render. The included hosting guide walks through the setup for each.
Not to BotForge. Generation is a one-time step for Starter and Growth. Any ongoing cost is just your chosen hosting, which can be free on some platforms.
No. The token stays in your browser during generation and is written into the .env file in your download. It is never sent to BotForge servers.
14 features from $0.99. 31 more from $9.99. No account, no waiting.
