🦉 OwlBot (owlbot-remote)

OwlBot is a production‑ready modular remote‑control agent for Windows, operated via Telegram. It lets you monitor system resources, manage files, control peripherals, capture screen / webcam, and more — all from your phone.

---

✨ Features

• 🧩 100% Modular — load only the modules you need
• 💉 Dependency‑Injected core — ready for extra platforms (Discord, SSH, …)
• 🛡️ User‑ID whitelisting and centralized error handling
• 📊 Live resource monitoring (CPU, RAM, Disk, temperature)
• 🎹 Peripheral control — keyboard, mouse, hotkeys, audio volume
• 📸 Screen capture, webcam, timelapse, and screen streaming
• 🔊 Voice recording, volume control, and incoming‑voice playback
• 🌍 IP lookup, VPN/proxy detection, and GPS/IP-based location (Telegram map pin)

---

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Windows (some modules require Win32 API)
• ffmpeg in PATH if you use voice playback (download from ffmpeg.org)
• A Telegram Bot Token

Install from PyPI

pip install owlbot-remote[all]

To install only the cross‑platform subset (no audio, no keyboard, no WMI):

pip install owlbot-remote

Minimal deployment script

from owlbot import OwlBot

bot = OwlBot(
    token="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
    authorized_users=[123456789],       # your Telegram user ID
    modules=["system", "screen", "files", "input", "processes", "monitoring"],
)
bot.run()

Or via the CLI entry point:

owlbot --token YOUR_BOT_TOKEN --users 123456789,987654321

---

📝 Logging

By default OwlBot logs to both the console and a rotating‑free log file (owlbot.log in the current directory). All of this is configurable:

from owlbot import OwlBot

bot = OwlBot(
    token="YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
    authorized_users=[123456789],
    log_level="DEBUG",       # DEBUG | INFO | WARNING | ERROR | CRITICAL
    log_file="owlbot.log",   # set to None (or "") to disable the log file only
    enable_logging=True,     # set to False to disable logging entirely
)

Goal	Setting
Console + file logging (default)	leave as default
Console only, no log file on disk	log_file=None
Completely silent (no console, no file)	enable_logging=False

The same options are available from the CLI:

owlbot --token TOKEN --users 123 --log-level DEBUG   # verbose logging
owlbot --token TOKEN --users 123 --no-log-file        # console only, no file
owlbot --token TOKEN --users 123 --disable-logging    # fully silent
