Uncensored alternative to Claude Code
Same job: one order, files on disk. Different rule: AskPuck does not add a refusal layer. Cursor hits the same wall.
Why people look this up
Claude Code and Cursor are strong coding agents. They inherit the policy of the model behind them. Adult shops, casino products, authorised pentests, satire, competitor teardowns you have a right to run — the tool stops, hedges, or rewrites the brief.
AskPuck is for that cut. It is an uncensored coding agent on Mac and Windows. Not a Claude wrapper. Not a jailbreak of Cursor.
Side by side
| Claude Code / Cursor | AskPuck | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Terminal or editor | Desktop app, Mac and Windows |
| Writes your files | Yes | Yes — Coordinator and Coder |
| Refusal layer | Yes, from the lab model | None on the model we run |
| Price | Subscription or lab tokens | Credits, per token. No subscription |
| Models | Claude / mixed lab models | cortex-1.2 preview · cortex-1.1 stable |
This is not “we are smarter than Claude.” On a lot of ordinary code they will still be the better writer. The gap we fill is the job they will not touch.

Uncensored is not a permit. If the work is unlawful where you are, do not run it. In scope and out of scope is on the next page. Full text: Acceptable Use.
Questions
Is this a Claude Code alternative? Yes, when the block is the refusal, not the model quality.
Does AskPuck use Claude or Cursor? No. cortex-1.2 or cortex-1.1. Same balance on the API.
They said they can’t help. Now what? If the work is legal, install and give the order. You stay responsible.
