Your Telegram Bot Token Should Stay Private

Your bot token is the key to your bot. Anyone who has it can control it. BotForge is built so your token stays in your browser: code generation runs client-side, and the token is written straight into the .env file in your download. It is never sent to BotForge servers.

Why token privacy matters

The token is a master key

With your bot token, anyone can send messages, read updates, and take over moderation. Keeping it private keeps you in control.

Client-side generation

BotForge assembles your bot in the browser. The token is handled locally, not uploaded for processing.

It lands in your .env only

Your token is placed into the .env file inside your downloaded zip, ready to run, and nowhere else.

Cleared after download

Once your bot is generated and downloaded, the token is cleared from the wizard so it does not linger.

Privacy-first by design

Self-hosted, and your token stays private

  • Code generation runs entirely in your browser. Your bot token goes straight into the downloaded .env file and is never sent to BotForge servers.
  • You own the generated TypeScript code. Download it, edit it, and run it on your own machine, VPS, or a host like Railway or Render.
  • No platform lock-in. There is nothing to keep paying for once your bot is running.

Frequently asked questions

Does BotForge see my bot token?

No. BotForge is designed so your token stays in your browser during generation and is written into your downloaded .env file. It is not sent to BotForge servers.

Why does token privacy matter?

Your bot token can fully control your bot. If it leaks, someone else can run your bot. Keeping it local reduces that risk.

Where should I keep my token after download?

Keep it in the .env file and never commit it to a public repository. The generated .gitignore already excludes .env for you.

Can I rotate my token if needed?

Yes. You can revoke and regenerate a token in @BotFather at any time, then update the .env file in your bot folder.
