overcode 0.2.3

A supervisor for managing multiple Claude Code instances in tmux

overcode

A TUI supervisor for managing multiple Claude Code agents in tmux.

Launch autonomous coding agents, monitor their progress in real-time, track costs and activity, and coordinate work across your projects—all from a single dashboard.

Why overcode?

Running multiple Claude Code agents is powerful, but managing them gets chaotic fast. Overcode solves this by giving you:

• Unified visibility - See all agents at a glance: what they're working on, whether they need input, and how much they're costing you
• Smart orchestration - An optional supervisor daemon can approve prompts and keep agents moving without constant attention
• Efficiency metrics - Track "green time" (Claude actively working) vs idle time to understand where time goes
• Session persistence - Agents run in tmux, surviving terminal disconnects. Pick up where you left off

Screenshots

Split-screen with tmux sync - Monitor agents in the top pane while viewing live agent output below. Press p to enable pane sync, then navigate with j/k to switch the bottom pane to the selected agent's window.

iTerm2 setup: Use Cmd+Shift+D to split horizontally. Run overcode monitor in the top pane and tmux attach -t agents in the bottom pane.

Preview mode - Press m to toggle List+Preview mode. Shows collapsed agent list with detailed terminal output preview for the selected agent.

Quick Start

Try it instantly with uvx:

uvx overcode monitor

This opens the dashboard. Press n to create your first agent—give it a name, point it at a project directory, and optionally provide an initial prompt. Create a few agents to see them work in parallel.

Requirements: Python 3.12+, tmux, Claude Code CLI

For permanent installation: pip install overcode

See the Getting Started Guide for a complete walkthrough.

Features

Real-time Dashboard

The TUI displays all agents with live status updates, showing:

• Current activity and AI-generated summaries
• Status indicators (running/waiting/stalled)
• Cost and token usage per agent
• Git repo and branch information
• Timeline showing status history

Agent Management

• Launch agents with custom prompts and permission settings
• Send instructions directly from the dashboard
• Standing orders - persistent instructions that guide agent behavior
• Sleep mode - pause agents and exclude them from stats
• Priority sorting - organize agents by importance

Supervisor Daemon

An optional Claude-powered orchestrator that:

• Monitors agents for prompts requiring approval
• Automatically handles routine confirmations
• Follows per-agent standing orders
• Tracks interventions and steering decisions

Analytics & Export

• Web dashboard - mobile-friendly monitoring from any device
• Historical analytics - browse session history with charts
• Parquet export - analyze data in Jupyter notebooks
• Presence tracking - correlate activity with your availability (macOS)
