claude-view

You have 10 Claude sessions running right now. What are they doing?

Behind every "thinking..." spinner, Claude is spawning sub-agents, calling MCP servers, running skills, firing hooks — and you can't see any of it.

You're paying $200/mo for Claude Code. You deserve a dashboard.

How It Works

On first run, npx claude-view downloads a platform-specific Rust binary (~10 MB) from GitHub Releases. The binary is cached at ~/.claude-view/ so subsequent runs start instantly.

Your sessions, code, and prompts stay on your machine — claude-view reads and indexes them entirely locally. To guide development, official builds (this npm package and the install script) send anonymous, content-free usage analytics by default (which features are used, app version, OS — never code, prompts, paths, or session content). A one-time notice prints on first run; opt out anytime with CLAUDE_VIEW_TELEMETRY=0. Builds from source send nothing. See the Privacy Policy.
