Frequently asked questions about Claw-Coder
Does Claw-Coder collect my code or personal data?
No. Claw-Coder runs entirely locally and never collects code, passwords, or personal information. Optional telemetry only tracks tool version, commands run, and OS used. Users can disable telemetry with 'claw-coder telemetry off'.
How do I install and start using Claw-Coder?
Install globally with 'npm install -g claw-coder', run 'claw-coder setup' to initialize dependencies and Ollama, then 'claw-coder ingest .' to analyze your codebase before starting the agent.
How does Claw-Coder compare to Cursor, Copilot, or Claude?
Claw-Coder is the only option that runs locally with complete privacy, advanced local knowledge graphs, and local code reasoning—making it ideal for developers requiring data security and no cloud dependencies.
