Building MyLocalCLI: A Claude Code Alternative

When I started building MyLocalCLI, my goal was simple: create a coding assistant that respects privacy and works entirely on your machine.

The Problem

Cloud-based AI coding tools are great, but they come with concerns about data privacy, internet dependency, and API costs. I wanted something that could work offline with local LLMs.

The Solution

MyLocalCLI supports 6 different AI providers including Ollama for local inference, OpenRouter for cloud fallback, and multiple free API options. It comes with 26 built-in tools for file operations, code analysis, and more.

Key Features

• Works with local Ollama models (Gemma, Mistral, CodeLlama)
• 26 tools for file editing, searching, and code operations
• 5 specialized agents for different tasks
• Privacy-first: your code never leaves your machine
