Open Source Tool Enables Fully Offline Claude Code on Apple Silicon
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-03
The open-source project claude-code-local allows running Claude Code 100% offline on Apple Silicon Macs. It bypasses cloud proxies by running an MLX-native server that speaks the Anthropic API natively. Users can choose open-source models like Gemma, Llama, or Qwen to write code, edit files, and manage projects without monthly subscriptions.
Designed for privacy-sensitive workflows (NDA, legal, healthcare) and air-gap ready environments, the project has already garnered 3k stars on GitHub.
