Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

remotty: Windows bridge for Codex and Telegram

remotty is not a general-purpose remote control tool. It is a bridge for continuing Codex work on Windows from the Telegram app you already use.

remotty lets you continue Codex work from Telegram. There is no new mobile app to install.

You send a message to your Telegram bot. remotty receives it on your Windows PC, sends it to the Codex CLI session you connected, and returns the reply to the same Telegram chat.

remotty does not expose a public webhook server. It also does not type into the open Codex App window. It talks to local Codex through the local codex command.

What It Does

  • Connects a Telegram bot to Codex on your Windows PC.
  • Connects Telegram to the Codex CLI session you start for the project.
  • Sends Telegram messages to that session.
  • Queues text you send while Codex is already working.
  • Returns Codex replies to the same Telegram chat.
  • Relays approval prompts to Telegram.
  • Stores the bot token in Windows protected storage.
  • Stores remotty state under %APPDATA%\remotty.

When To Use It

Use remotty when you want to leave your desk and keep steering the Codex work that is available on your Windows PC.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • Codex CLI
  • Node.js and npm
  • A Telegram bot token from @BotFather

Rust is only needed when you build from source.

Get Started

Use the Telegram Quickstart.

It walks through installation, bot setup, token storage, pairing, channel startup, and a first Telegram test message.

Want to try the local loop before making a Telegram bot? Use the Fakechat Demo.

Update

Run this in a normal user PowerShell when you want the latest published remotty package:

npm install -g remotty

Then follow the Telegram Quickstart from the project you want to use.

Main Commands

Run these from PowerShell:

$configPath = Join-Path $env:APPDATA "remotty\bridge.toml"
remotty config workspace upsert --config $configPath --path (Get-Location).Path
remotty telegram configure --config $configPath
remotty --config $configPath
remotty telegram access-pair <code> --config $configPath
remotty telegram policy allowlist --config $configPath

When remotty --config $configPath succeeds, the terminal prints Listening for Telegram channel messages from: remotty:telegram. Keep that terminal open while you use Telegram.

If you also use Codex App, the bundled plugin can help with setup tasks. The plugin is optional. The supported Telegram flow is the Codex CLI flow above: Codex CLI plus the remotty PowerShell commands.

Run these in Telegram:

/help
/status
/stop
/approve <request_id>
/deny <request_id>
/workspace
/workspace <id>

Security

  • Store bot tokens with remotty telegram configure so they stay in Windows protected storage.
  • Use a dedicated Telegram bot for remotty.
  • Do not paste bot tokens into chat, issues, or pull requests.
  • Do not paste bot tokens or api.telegram.org/bot... URLs into issues.
  • Keep project files separate from %APPDATA%\remotty runtime state.

Related Docs

Note: if your project lives on an SSH host, Codex Remote connections may also be useful. remotty is for returning to Codex work on your Windows PC from Telegram.
