๐Ÿ’ป I came across OpenClaude-Portable and I like the idea mostly because it reduces repeated setup.

It packages an AI coding agent into a self-contained folder and supports 9 providers, including Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama and LM Studio.

Settings, API keys and sessions stay inside the project directory.

Cloud providers still need internet, but with Ollama or another local provider the coding workflow can stay local once configured.

It supports Windows, Linux and macOS. ๐Ÿ’พ

To me, the interesting part is not "coding from a flash drive". It is being able to move the whole agent environment between machines.

Has anyone here tried doing this from a USB SSD in a real workflow?

The only problem is people using LLMs and AIs.
