LocalFirst
Your hardware runs first. Cloud is the exception, not the rule.
LocalFirst sits between you and Claude Code. It shows exactly what gets uploaded to Anthropic, blocks secrets before they leave your machine, and runs file operations locally — zero cloud tokens.
Install
pip install localfirst
localfirst claude
The problem
Claude Code uploads your code to Anthropic on every request. You cannot see what goes up. Your .env files get included even with .claudeignore. A simple session burns $0.07+ before you type anything.
What LocalFirst does
1. Inspector — see every request live, tokens, files, costs
2. Secret Gate — block .env and API keys before they reach Anthropic
3. Local MCP Tools — grep, find, read, tree, git run locally — 0 cloud tokens
Typical savings: 30-60% of all tokens.
Setup
pip install localfirst
localfirst mcp config
Usage
localfirst claude # Claude with LocalFirst active
localfirst claude --mode block_secrets # block secrets automatically
localfirst inspect # inspector only
localfirst stats # token savings
localfirst check # check tools
