A notable configuration milestone appears in the v0.4.0 release on 2024-06-24, which introduced the documented TOML configuration layout for editor, cookies, and storage. Later releases expanded everyday coding-practice ergonomics, including daily challenge flags, LeetCode China support, environment-variable cookie overrides, clap-derived commands, and README/docs restructuring. ### Adoption history The repository shows hundreds of stars and dozens of forks, and the input package facts list Homebrew and Nix packaging. That puts it in the small but active ecosystem of terminal-first LeetCode clients used by programmers who want editor-centric practice instead of browser-only workflows. ### How it is used The README's quickstart has users sign in to LeetCode in a browser, then run commands such as `leetcode pick`, `leetcode edit`, `leetcode test`, and `leetcode exec`. On macOS and Linux, the tool can read Chrome cookies automatically; manual cookie setup and environment-variable overrides are documented for other cases. ### Why package nerds care The package is interesting because it packages an authenticated web-workflow CLI: browser cookies, local code generation, editor integration, shell completions, SQLite/OpenSSL build concerns, and LeetCode API changes all meet in one terminal tool. ### Timeline - 2024-06-24: v0.4.0 release introduced the documented TOML configuration format. - 2024-12-24: v0.5.0 release switched command definitions to clap derive. - 2026-06-21: v0.5.1 release notes document README/docs restructuring and macOS Chrome-cookie fixes. - 2026-06-21: v0.5.2 release bundled SQLite to reduce system build dependency friction. ### Related projects - It overlaps with other LeetCode CLIs in this batch, especially `leetgo`, `leetup`, and older JavaScript-era LeetCode command-line clients, but clearloop's implementation is Rust-centered and packaged for cargo, Homebrew, and Nix users. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
