Real-time dashboard for monitoring Claude Code sessions

Real-time dashboard for monitoring Claude Code sessions

Features · Quick Start · Development · How It Works

---

ClawView reads the JSONL session files that Claude Code writes to ~/.claude/projects/ and presents them in a live-updating web dashboard. Track token usage, costs, tool invocations, errors, and more across all your coding sessions.

Features

• Live session monitoring -- active sessions update in real time via WebSocket
• Project-level analytics -- token usage over time, daily costs, model breakdown, tool usage trends
• Session deep-dive -- conversation timeline with turn-by-turn token counts, tool calls, and context window usage
• Cost tracking -- per-session and per-project cost estimates based on model pricing
• Tool & MCP tracking -- see which tools and MCP servers each session uses, with category breakdowns
• Error & interruption rates -- spot problematic sessions at a glance
• Memory & skill browser -- inspect memory files and sub-agent skills from within the dashboard
• Continuation chain linking -- follows /clear continuations across sessions
• IDE integration -- links to open files directly in your editor

Quick Start

uvx clawview

That's it. Open http://localhost:3333 in your browser.

Requires uv (install: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh)

From source

git clone https://github.com/tuongaz/clawview.git
cd clawview
make run

This requires Python 3.11+, uv, and Bun.

Development

Run the frontend and backend separately for hot-reload:

# Terminal 1 -- Frontend (Vite dev server with HMR)
cd frontend && bun run dev

# Terminal 2 -- Backend
uv run clawview

Other commands

make build          # Build frontend + sync Python deps
make clean          # Remove web/dist, frontend/node_modules, .venv
uv run pytest       # Run tests
uv run pyright src/clawview/  # Type checking

How It Works

ClawView is a Python (FastAPI) backend that serves a React (Vite) frontend as static files.

    A["~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl"] --> B["FastAPI Backend"]
    B -- "WebSocket" --> C["React App (Browser)"]
    C -- "REST / WS" --> B

The backend watches Claude Code's session files, parses JSONL entries into structured data (sessions, turns, tool events), computes analytics, and pushes updates to connected clients over multiple WebSocket channels.
