OSR OSR RPGs with no class system

Also I would really like to hear about from other OSR adjacent games that don't use a class system, for now I only know : Into the odd, Cairn, Knave and Machiato Monsters.
Hmm, OSR? If you're thinking low hit points, minimal monster statistics, walls of text, and/or freedom from the Five Foot Step, you should check out Modos 2, free edition. It's class-free, but it's also setting-free, so you'll need to write up your own weapon-versus-AC tables, beholder ray options, or elf racial features. (For the latter, I just take the Sleepless perk and call it done.)
 

Black Sword Hack is class-less and based on the Black Hack. GOZR is classless in a sense (but is it OSR?).
Black Sword Hack, of course! I so hope to get it to the table this year, fingers crossed!
BSH made me start on Howard and Moorcock, finally, and I am glad that it did.
The book itself is very evocative, and I am trying it out solo in the next weeks, time and priorities permitting.

How much you can mine it for stuff for Knave, I am not sure.
