Vomit converts Claude's token vomit into English by piping it through a local LLM. It's fully local (no telemetry) and has no external dependencies. I wrote a small blog post about this project: https://zachahn.com/posts/1787191554 Disclaimer: - The local LLM can only see what Claude tries to communicate (no access to any actions or files), so it hallucinates a bit - It's pretty slow - This is totally vibe-coded, only tested on Mac - There is a possibility you'll completely miss Claude's message. You can use something like AgentsView to get the original messages, as Vomit does not touch anythi
