Localize runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 16 installs a week from npm. Last commit 19 Oct 2026.
Local LLM does Claude's bulk work: reads logs and files, researches the web, writes test-gated code.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Localize every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
