Claude Code Portable
An open-source portability tool that enables the official Claude Code to run from a USB drive or any local folder. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, and can connect to multiple model providers including OpenRouter, Gemini, DeepSeek, and NVIDIA.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Claude Code Portable shares the same data across Windows, Mac, and Linux, including configuration, conversation history, and API keys.
The project provides two launch files: Windows users run Start.bat, and Mac and Linux users run Start.sh.
Claude Code Portable allows connecting to multiple model providers such as OpenRouter, Gemini, DeepSeek, and NVIDIA, bypassing Anthropic's official $20-per-month subscription.
On first launch, the Node.js runtime and the official Claude Code package are automatically downloaded to the Engine folder, a process that takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
During cross-platform migration, system-specific files are downloaded on the first run, after which previous conversation history and API keys can be reused directly without reconfiguration.
Users can save multiple providers in the configuration and switch between them at any time, such as freely switching between DeepSeek and NVIDIA Nemotron.
USB drive read/write speeds are limited, and for a smoother experience it is recommended to switch to an external SSD or internal SSD.
