This tool allows users to run Claude locally, ensuring privacy and cost control through features such as smart model routing to cheaper Claude versions and user-defined budget caps. A notable feature is the 'Desktop Bridge,' which enables users to approve or deny Claude's tool calls via mobile notifications while away from their computer. AI
