Claw
Source & credits

The source behind Claw.

Claw's release repository contains the app source, dependency pins, build recipes, and license notices.

The new repository is private during release preparation. Access on GitHub is limited to authorized accounts until the owner makes it public.

Releases you can inspect

Each published source snapshot records its development commit in SOURCE_SNAPSHOT.json. Source packages include checksum-pinned upstream archives and local build scripts. Consult the release notes for the matching Claw build.

Credits where they belong

Claw builds on Cytrus, Azahar, Citra, and the open-source projects used for its other supported systems. MoltenVK provides Vulkan-to-Metal translation. FFmpeg is built from pinned source in Xcode Cloud.

Claw's overall source license is GNU GPL v3. Individual dependencies retain their own licenses and notices. Full notices are available in Settings → Legal & licenses inside Claw and in the source repository.

Build it yourself

The repository includes instructions for macOS and Xcode, pinned dependencies, and scripts to rebuild FFmpeg and the emulator cores. Your own signing identity is required to install signed builds. Source packages contain no commercial games, console keys, or signing credentials.
