### ClawTear — a chat window for the AI models already on your own computer

A member-built interface for [Ollama](https://ollama.com) — a full chat app that never leaves your machine.

**What is actually in it**

- **Deep Think** — reasoning models stream their step-by-step thinking, with a timer
- attach a code or document file, and read any answer aloud
- branch a conversation from any message; export chats as Markdown or JSON
- temporary chats, pinning, rename and search across your whole history
- tokyo-night among four themes, with temperature, Top-P and Top-K in reach
- no npm install and no build step — it runs on Node’s own built-ins

**Download** — [claw-tear.zip](https://onehack.st/uploads/short-url/73XysRWUhunTPfNWeTIr2reFN4q.zip) (1.8 MB)

**Three steps to running it**

1. Unzip the folder
2. Double-click `Start Local AI.bat`
3. Your browser opens [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)

**Every line is readable.** What you download is source — `src/App.tsx`, `server.js`, `package.json` — so you can read it first and run it second.

> **What is in the zip**
>
> - the whole React + TypeScript app as source — `src/App.tsx` and `src/components/MarkdownRenderer.tsx`
> - `server.js`, the local server that proxies Ollama’s own `/api/chat`, `/api/tags` and `/api/version`
> - `Start Local AI.bat`, `run.bat`, `diagnose.bat`, `start.sh` — Windows and Linux launchers
> - `README.md` with the model list and the `--port`, `--host` and `--ollama` flags
> - a prebuilt `public/assets` bundle, so it opens before anything is built

> **What it needs**
>
> - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) — the one requirement the submission names, and no npm install follows it
> - Ollama with a model pulled; the screenshots show `llama3.2:3b`, and `qwen2.5:1.5b` is lighter still
> - Deep Think mode wants a reasoning model — `deepseek-r1:1.5b`, or the `7b` when the machine is roomy
> - port 3000 free on your machine
