Platforms

Bot core is written in TypeScript. Node is the recommended runtime. Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).

Companion apps exist for macOS (menu bar app) and mobile nodes (iOS/Android). Windows and Linux companion apps are planned, but the Gateway is fully supported today. Native companion apps for Windows are also planned; the Gateway is recommended via WSL2.
