Local Claude Bridge 0.1.1 — experimental Windows preview

Recommended download: LocalClaudeBridge-Windows-x64-0.1.1-preview-tagged.zip (with SHA256SUMS-tagged.txt). Its executable version metadata identifies the exact release-tag commit. The original preview asset remains available; it contains the same application code but earlier source-revision metadata.

Experimental Windows x64 preview using a regular Claude web session in an app-owned WebView2 browser.

Includes a local-only endpoint, port/model/timeout settings with hover help, OpenAI-compatible text chat completions, buffered SSE output, and local API-key creation and revocation. MIT-licensed source credits openai-oauth, LLMux, and the OmniRoute web-adapter reference.

Verified: one live local Messages-shaped endpoint request returned exactly OK through the signed-in Claude web session after correcting the model ID to claude-sonnet-5-5. The user-provided Claude tab in Codex displayed Free plan; its identity was not programmatically correlated with the app profile. No claim is made about quota attribution or unlimited access. See TESTING.md for limits of verification.

26 local integration assertions and the JavaScript stream/transport tests passed. The initial Windows GitHub CI build passed. Full SDK compatibility, Windows 10, ARM64 hardware, and sustained workloads remain untested.

Download the ZIP, extract it to a local folder, and run ClaudeLocalBridge.exe. This package includes .NET and still requires Microsoft's Edge WebView2 Evergreen Runtime. It is a portable preview, not an installer.

Sign in within the app, click Check session, select your personal workspace, and run the quick test. Use model alias claude-web with local API clients. Machine model identifiers use hyphens; Sonnet 5.5 is claude-sonnet-5-5.

Limitations: undocumented website interfaces may change; text only; buffered streaming; unsupported API options are rejected explicitly. Each request creates a new Claude chat. No paid API fallback or quota bypass is included.
