The My Free Stack chat window: console online, local Qwen3-Coder model.
WHAT IT IS

Claw Code is the community-built, open-source rewrite of Anthropic’s Claude Code. My Free Stack is my setup around it: a private chat window that runs on your own computer, thinks locally and checks your notes first.

Where it came from. On 31 March 2026 Anthropic accidentally published about 500,000 lines of its own Claude Code source code (reported by Axios).

01 · PRIVATE

Runs on my Mac

The chat lives at a local address that only I can open. The model runs on my machine, not on someone else's server.

02 · FREE

$0 per message

Qwen3-Coder runs through Ollama, so everyday use has no API or per-message fee. Paid services stay off unless I choose them.

03 · CONNECTED

Knows my business

It reads my business notes in Notion before answering, and names the pages it used. Read-only, so it can't change anything.

GOOD TO KNOW

Claw Code is an independent open-source project. It is not Claude, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by Anthropic. The model I run behind it is Qwen3-Coder.

THE NUMBERS

As of 19 September 2026, the Claw Code GitHub page shows over 195.3k stars and 108.5k forks. Those numbers belong to the open-source repository, not to my setup.

WHAT $0 MEANS

$0 means no API, subscription or per-message fees in my setup. It does not count the computer itself, the electricity it uses, or the disk space the model needs. How well a local model runs depends on your hardware.

A SNAPSHOT

This describes my setup as of September 2026. Open-source projects and models change quickly, so check the repository for current details before you rely on anything here.
