TapBot turns any Android device into an on-device bot server running multiple bots concurrently with $0/month in cloud VPS bills. Control hardware with Commander Bot, stream room audio with TapStream, deploy Gemini AI, automate supergroups with Exon, and install packages from the built-in Edge Bot Store.
TapBot is not just a single bot. It is a full on-device operating runtime with a pre-installed fleet of specialized bots and a built-in Edge Store to download community packages.
Turns your Android phone into an interactive IoT node managed via Telegram. Check battery diagnostics and CPU thermals, toggle the camera torch, trigger haptic vibrations, send high-priority system notifications, and distribute signed APK binaries directly over chat.

No Linux rooting. No Termux workarounds. Just a compiled Android service running directly on native ART.
Sideload a single lightweight 19.3 MB compiled binary onto any spare Android phone (Android 8.0 up to Android 15+). TapBot runs 100% independently of Google Play Services, Termux, or Docker emulation layers.

TapBot binds a partial CPU wake lock and sticky foreground notification, completely bypassing aggressive OEM task killers and Android Doze battery optimizations. Plug the phone into a charger, drop it in a drawer, and your server runs permanently.

Resolve tracks via yt-dlp API endpoints or stream 6 curated 24/7 internet radio stations. Playback routes to the phone's physical loudspeaker, connected Bluetooth DACs, or uploads as an in-chat Telegram audio track.
Bot tokens are sealed inside Android's hardware security module (KeyStore) using AES-256-GCM. Unencrypted tokens never touch flash memory.
Logging engines constantly degrade internal phone eMMC/UFS storage. TapBot stores telemetry strictly in RAM ring buffers, writing 0 bytes to disk.
No heavy Node.js runtime layers or slow Python interpreters. Compiled Kotlin bytecode executes directly on native Android ART with Coroutines Flow.
Foreground service execution backed by sticky process flags and battery optimization exemption. TapBot persists through aggressive OEM task killers.
This live interactive console simulates TapBot's multi-bot execution pipeline. Switch between runtimes below to test remote hardware controls, audio streaming, generative AI, and supergroup moderation.

"I hated seeing functional Android smartphones end up in landfills or sitting abandoned in drawers while developers kept paying $15 to $30 every month to cloud VPS providers to run simple Telegram bots. Android devices are incredible computers: they have low-power multi-core ARM chips, battery failover, Wi-Fi, and native audio hardware. By building TapBot directly on Android ART and engineering in-memory ring buffers that prevent flash storage degradation, anyone can turn an everyday phone into an immortal self-hosted bot server."
No cloud subscriptions. Zero trackers. Direct on-device execution.
