Antidrot Telegram bot: play time from your phone

Your child sends you 4 characters from the screen — you reply with an access key. The bot stores the master keys of your computers, remembers the history and lets you share control with a second parent.

Getting started

  1. Download Antidrot and run it on your child's computer. Save the master key from the “Save your master key!” window.
  2. Open the bot and tap “Start”.
  3. Send the master key as a message. If you have several computers, send their master keys separated by commas. Tap “Continue”.
  4. Done: “⚡ Generate key” appears in the menu.

How to give play time

Tap “Generate key” and enter the one-time code — the 4 red characters from the window on your child's screen. Pick a ready-made time option or send your own in S.R.M format — seconds of play, break and total limit, just like in the program. For example, 5400.900.10800 means an hour and a half of play, 15-minute breaks and 3 hours in total.

The quick way: just send the bot the code from the screen, for example K7QX, or the code and the time at once: K7QX 3600.600.14400. The bot replies with a key — your child enters it in the window and clicks “Unlock”.

Access for a second parent

In “Share access”, tap “Invite second parent” — the bot gives you a one-time link. The second parent opens it in their own Telegram and can then give keys for this computer. They don't see the master key — not in the menu and not in the export. You get a notification when the link is accepted, and you can revoke access at any time.

Child access on a schedule

You can let your child get a key on their own — but only during the hours you choose and only with the time you set. You specify:

  • time in the program's S.R.M format, for example 3600.600.10800;
  • schedule, for example mon-fri 16:00-18:00; sat,sun 10:00-20:00 — in your time zone;
  • limit — how many keys can be received per day.

Your child opens the invitation link in their own Telegram, taps “Get key” and enters the code from the screen. Outside the schedule or over the limit, the bot politely declines. You get a notification about every key issued.

Mini app

The “Open mini app” button opens, right inside Telegram, the same generator as on the website — but the key is calculated on the bot's server, and the master key is picked from your saved ones. There you'll also find paged history and management of master keys, access and settings. The mini app can only be opened from the bot: every request is signed by Telegram.

Security

  • A master key is visible only to the person who added it.
  • Invitation links are one-time and valid for a limited period.
  • An access key is tied to the code on the screen: an intercepted key won't work the next time the window appears.
  • The program on the computer still works without internet — the bot only calculates keys.

Frequently asked questions

Can the second parent see the master key?

No. The second parent gets access through a one-time link and can give access keys, but the master key itself is never shown or exported to them.

Can my child choose how long to play?

No. With child access, the parent sets the time in S.R.M format, and the child only enters the one-time code from the screen during allowed hours to get a key with that time.

Can the mini app be opened via a link without the bot?

No. The mini app works only inside Telegram: every request is signed by Telegram and checked by the bot's server, and only people who have started the bot can use it.

What happens if I delete a master key from the bot?

The history of keys given with it is deleted, and access for the second parent and the child is revoked. The program on the computer keeps working, and you can add the master key again.

How do I move my keys to another bot?

Tap “Export” — the bot shows all your master keys separated by commas. Paste this line into the other bot on first start or via “Import”.
