\n\n# ๐Ÿง โšก Claude Code Local\n\n### Claude Code, running on your own Mac. No cloud. No API key. No waiting.\n\n**Your Mac's chip runs the AI ยท Claude Code works exactly like it always does ยท nothing leaves your computer**\n\n\"GitHub\n\"Apple\n\"100%\n\"Best\n\"MIT\"\n\"Discord\"\n\n

\n \"Claude\n
A real session, unedited. Claude Code reads and edits the file, and the AI answering is running on the laptop.\n

\n\n---\n\n## ๐Ÿ›‘ Hit your Claude usage limit?\n\nClaude Code just said **\"you've reached your usage limit\"** and the reset is hours away? Keep working:\nsame Claude Code, same project, but the AI answering runs on your own Mac.\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicedreamzapp/claude-code-local/main/install.sh | bash\n```\n\nThat's it. It even works on a **16 GB MacBook**, and gets better the more memory your Mac has.\n\n---\n\n## ๐ŸŒŠ Use it with Trinidad Head\n\n**Trinidad Head is the recommended terminal for running local models, on Mac and PC.** It's built\nfrom scratch by the same person who made this project, and it makes long local-AI sessions nicer:\n\n- ๐ŸชŸ **Glass windows with a soft neon glow**, rounded and easy on the eyes\n- ๐ŸŒˆ **A different color for every window**, so you can tell your local-model windows apart at a glance\n- ๐Ÿ”  **Bigger, easy-to-read text**\n- ๐Ÿ’ฌ **Your own prompts stand out** in a soft bubble, so you can find what you asked when you scroll back\n- ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ **Copy and paste just work**, even under Claude Code's calm focus view\n\n

\n\n๐Ÿ‘‰ **[Get Trinidad Head](https://github.com/nicedreamzapp/trinidad-head)** ยท [project page](https://nicedreamzwholesale.com/software/trinidad-head/)\n\n---\n\n## ๐Ÿ”‹ Out of Claude credits? Keep going.\n\nWhen Claude runs out, type **`exit`** in Claude Code, then **`keep going`**. You get a short menu,\nand **the same conversation carries on** with whichever model you pick:\n\n- โ˜๏ธ **Free cloud models** from OpenRouter (add a free key, see below)\n- ๐Ÿ’ป **Models on your Mac** from the lineup below, sized to fit your memory\n\n

\n \"The\n

\n\n`setup.sh` installs it for you. To add it by hand, or to turn on the free cloud models:\n\n```bash\necho 'source \"$HOME/claude-code-local/scripts/keepgoing-shell.sh\"' >> ~/.zshrc # the \"keep going\" command\nmkdir -p ~/.config/claude-code-local\necho 'OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-free-key' >> ~/.config/claude-code-local/keepgoing.env # optional\n```\n\nWant a reminder at the bottom of every Claude window?
