🔭 ClaudeScope

Full-text search across every Claude Code session you've ever run — in your browser, with zero install and zero network. Plus the usage dashboard your subscription doesn't show you.

npx claudescope-cli

That's it. No install, no config, no account, no network. Your browser opens a dashboard built entirely from the transcripts already on your disk.

The problem

You solved this exact bug with Claude Code three weeks ago. Which session was it in? claude --resume shows you a wall of session IDs and timestamps — no content, no cross-project search. Your answer is sitting right there in ~/.claude/projects/, locked inside gigabytes of raw .jsonl you can't grep.

ClaudeScope gives you instant full-text search across every prompt, reply and tool call you've ever run — and a session viewer to actually read the one you found. It also surfaces the usage you can't otherwise see:

• 🔎 "Find the session where I set up the Postgres driver" — search content, jump in, read it.
• 💸 How many tokens am I burning, and what would caching have cost me?
• 🗂️ Which projects eat the most of my Claude time?
• 🛠️ Which tools does Claude lean on, and where did it go the wrong way?
• ⏰ When am I most productive with it?

All of it from the transcripts already on your disk — 100% local, zero network, one command.

What you get

| | | |---|---| | 🔎 Full-text search | Instantly grep every prompt, reply and tool-call input across all sessions, with highlighting — filter by role/project. | | 📖 Session viewer | Click any result to read the full conversation — prompts, replies, tool calls — in place. | | 🗓️ Date-range filter | Scope the whole dashboard to the last 7 / 30 / 90 days, or all time. | | 📊 Usage at a glance | Sessions, messages, tokens, estimated API-equivalent cost, and how much caching saved you. | | 🍩 Token mix & model spend | Where your tokens go (hint: mostly cache) and cost per model. | | 🧭 Typical session | Median / p90 cost, messages and duration — plus interrupted-session detection. | | 🔥 Activity heatmap & timeline | Your rhythm by weekday × hour, and daily trend by cost or tokens. | | 🧠 Insights & archetype | Plain-language one-liners about your habits, plus a coding archetype derived from your patterns. | | 📈 Momentum & streaks | Week-over-week trend and active-day streaks. | | 🪄 Wrapped share card | A shareable, anonymized year-in-review — generated entirely in your browser. | | 🔌 Multi-CLI | Also picks up your Codex, Cursor, Aider, Gemini & Copilot CLI logs when present — search across all your agents (Claude Code is the reference; others are best-effort). | | 🏆 Percentile badge | A rough, 100% offline "top X% of token users" estimate, also on your Wrapped card. | | 📱 Installable PWA | Install it as a standalone app on desktop or your phone; works offline after first load.

Quick start

# Run it (Node 18+)
npx claudescope-cli

# Custom port, don't auto-open the browser
npx claudescope-cli --port 4400 --no-open

# Pipe the raw analytics somewhere else
npx claudescope-cli --json > usage.json

# Print a plain-text weekly "Scope Report" and exit (no server, no network)
npx claudescope-cli --weekly

# Point at a non-default location
npx claudescope-cli --dir /path/to/.claude

# Show all flags
npx claudescope-cli --help     # or -h

The npm package is claudescope-cli; the command it installs is claudescope (so npm i -g claudescope-cli then just claudescope).

By default the dashboard opens at http://127.0.0.1:4317 (override with --port). ClaudeScope auto-detects your Claude Code data directory — it honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, then falls back to ~/.claude, then $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/claude and ~/.config/claude. It reads the transcripts, builds the dashboard in memory, and serves it on 127.0.0.1 only.

Weekly ritual

--weekly prints a concise plain-text Scope Report — this-week-vs-last-week deltas (cost, tokens, sessions), your 🔥 streak, archetype, top project, and percentile — computed 100% locally with no server and no network. It also records today's snapshot so your streak keeps accruing. Wire it into a scheduler to get a recurring log:

# macOS / Linux — cron, every Monday at 9am
0 9 * * 1 claudescope --weekly >> ~/scope.log

# Windows — Task Scheduler (run weekly); the action runs:
claudescope --weekly >> "$HOME\scope.log"

The digest is pure ASCII + a couple of emoji accents, so it stays readable when piped to a file.

Team mode (local, no server)

Want a team view — combined usage across several machines or teammates — without standing up any infrastructure? ClaudeScope merges raw session exports entirely on your machine: no server, no upload, no account. Nobody's transcripts ever leave their laptop except as a file they choose to share.

# 1) Each person exports their own raw sessions (local, read-only):
claudescope --dump-sessions me.json

# 2) Everyone drops their me.json into a shared folder
#    (Google Drive, Dropbox, a network share, a git repo — your call),
#    renamed so they don't collide, e.g. ./team/alice.json, ./team/bob.json

# 3) Anyone merges the whole folder into one combined dashboard payload:
claudescope --merge ./team

# …or pass explicit files, and/or write the result out:
claudescope --merge alice.json bob.json --output team-usage.json

--dump-sessions <file> writes the raw normalized sessions array — the exact input to the analytics engine. That's the shareable unit, because the analytics output is already aggregated and lossy and can't be re-merged faithfully. Each session is tagged with its origin (your hostname, or --label <name>).

--merge <paths…> reads one or more dump files (and/or recurses folders for *.json that look like dumps), concatenates the sessions, runs analytics over the combined set, and prints the merged JSON (or writes it with --output). Bad or non-matching files are skipped with a note on stderr, so a stray README or a half-written file never breaks the merge. Provenance is preserved per session, so a future UI can break the combined view down by source.

Both flags are 100% local — like everything else in ClaudeScope, they make zero network requests.

🔒 Privacy first

This is the whole point:

• Zero network requests. ClaudeScope never phones home, never uploads, never analytics-pings. Disconnect your Wi-Fi and it works identically.
• Read-only. It only ever reads your transcript files. It never modifies or deletes them.
• Local-only server. Binds to 127.0.0.1 — not reachable from your network.
• Zero runtime dependencies. Pure Node.js standard library. Nothing in node_modules to audit. Read every line in five minutes.

Your AI coding history is some of the most sensitive data you own. It should never leave your machine to be understood — so it doesn't.

Install it as an app

ClaudeScope is an installable PWA. Open the dashboard, then:

• Desktop: click your browser's Install button (the ⊕ / install icon in the address bar) to launch ClaudeScope in its own standalone window.
• Mobile: open the URL in your phone's browser and choose Add to Home Screen.

It registers an offline service worker, so the app shell loads even with no network — still 100% local, still zero phone-home. Want something smaller? The compact /widget.html view shows just the key stat cards, ideal for a pinned mini-window or a home-screen shortcut.

See it on your phone

By default ClaudeScope binds to 127.0.0.1, so it's only reachable from the machine it runs on. To open it on your phone (on the same Wi-Fi), bind to your LAN address explicitly:

npx claudescope-cli --host 0.0.0.0

It prints the LAN URL to open on your phone, e.g. http://192.168.1.42:4317.

⚠️ Loud privacy caveat. --host 0.0.0.0 (or any non-loopback host) exposes your entire Claude Code history to everyone on the same network — no auth, no password. Only use it on a network you trust, and stop the server when you're done. The default 127.0.0.1 bind never leaves your machine.

Real API cost

Most users are on a flat-rate plan, so the dashboard's dollar figures are an estimate at list API rates (see below). Two extras let you sharpen that:

• API-cost mode — a toggle in the settings popover that relabels the estimate as your "API cost at list rates." It's purely cosmetic, stored in your browser's localStorage; it changes no numbers and makes no requests.

• Anthropic Usage API connector (opt-in, off by default) — to pull your real billed usage, set an admin key and click the connector button:

  ANTHROPIC_ADMIN_KEY=sk-ant-admin-... npx claudescope-cli

  Without that env var the feature stays dormant. It only ever fires on an explicit click (/api/anthropic-usage) — the default dashboard still makes zero network requests.

Share your Wrapped card

ClaudeScope Wrapped turns your usage into a shareable year-in-review card. It's anonymized — no project names, no prompts, no content — and generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded; you get an image to share if you choose to.

About the cost numbers

Most Claude Code users are on a flat-rate Max or Pro subscription, so the dollar figures are not a bill. They estimate what your token volume would cost on the pay-as-you-go Anthropic API at list prices — a relative gauge of intensity, not money spent. Cache reads and writes are priced with Anthropic's published multipliers (0.1× and 1.25× the input rate).

How it works

~/.claude/projects/<encoded-path>/<session>.jsonl
        │
        ▼
   src/parser.js     ← streams each transcript line-by-line (handles 50k-line files,
        │              tolerates malformed lines, extracts model/usage/tools/text)
        ▼
  src/analytics.js   ← aggregates totals, projects, models, tools, days, heatmap
        │
        ▼
   src/server.js     ← tiny stdlib HTTP server: /api/analytics, /api/search
        │
        ▼
     public/         ← dependency-free dashboard (vanilla JS + SVG charts)

No framework, no bundler, no database. It parses ~35k messages in well under two seconds.

Roadmap

• [x] Session detail view (full conversation replay)
• [x] Export a shareable, anonymized usage card (ClaudeScope Wrapped)
• [x] Diff usage between date ranges
• [x] Per-day token/cost CSV export
• [x] Installable PWA + offline service worker
• [ ] Support for other agent CLIs that log JSONL

Ideas and PRs welcome — see the issues.

Contributing

git clone https://github.com/JoniMartin27/claudescope
cd claudescope
node --test          # run the test suite (zero install needed)
npm start            # launch the dashboard against your own data

The codebase is deliberately tiny and dependency-free. If you add a feature, add a test for it. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the rules.

Extending ClaudeScope — to add support for another agent CLI's logs or a custom dashboard panel, see docs/EXTENDING.md: it documents the src/sources/ adapter contract, the normalized session/message shape, and how analytics fields reach the dashboard (with a copy-paste adapter skeleton).
