About Tinkerer Club

Tinkerer Club is a vibrant community and resource hub dedicated to developers, hackers, and automation enthusiasts who prefer building, self-hosting, and owning their digital infrastructure. It offers members access to private channels, weekly updates, live calls, discounts, and early access to innovative tools like Clawdbot—an on-device AI that combines shell access, custom skills, and private memory. Unlike cloud-centric solutions, Tinkerer Club emphasizes autonomy, transparency, and control, empowering users to escape subscription traps and maintain full ownership over their AI and automation stacks. The platform encourages a DIY mindset, fostering a community where members share configurations, insights, and tools to enhance their digital independence.
