The full story
The Clawd Mochi is a fan-made ESP32-C3 desk toy with a 3D-printed case and a 240x240 screen, designed by Yousuf Amanuel. The poster built one and then rewrote its software with Claude Code doing most of the work: reading the stock firmware, writing the new one, flashing it and debugging it through a live screen mirror.
The new firmware animates the character (breathing, blinking, glancing about) and reacts to Claude Code hooks. It also has pages for usage limits, a clock, a focus timer, music with album art, PC stats, weather and calendar. It runs over USB with a web controller and a desktop widget. Hardware and original firmware credit goes to the original designer.
