KillClawd – a desktop pet AI crab powered by local Ollama, runs entirely on your machine with ~2K lines of vanilla JS and Electron

KillClawd is a transparent always-on-top desktop overlay featuring a tiny AI crab named Clawd that wanders your screen, reacts to your cursor, fights spawned mobs, explores castles, and rides vehicles — all powered by a local LLM (a language model that runs on your own computer) via Ollama, with no cloud or subscription required.

The crab uses two model tiers: a fast chat model (qwen:latest recommended) for real-time streaming responses, and a slower GPU-accelerated background model for thoughts and observations. Responses are drawn from rotating pools that auto-refresh when depleted, using text completion rather than instruction-following prompts.

Controls include double-clicking to chat, dragging to pick up or fling the crab across the screen, right-clicking for a context menu (with options like spawning mobs or triggering an existential crisis), and hovering to make Clawd notice and flee. The app writes a journal file (clawd-journal.txt) logging all of Clawd's thoughts and actions.

Quick start requires Windows, Node.js 18+, and Ollama; users pull qwen:latest once, clone the GitHub repo, and double-click clawd.bat to install dependencies and launch the app.
