twicc 1.2.1

Claude Code Web UI

TWICC

The Web Interface for Claude Code

A web UI to browse and interact with your Claude Code sessions. View projects, sessions, conversation history, costs, and run Claude agents — all from your browser.

Disclaimer

This is a personal project made by Twidi for his own needs. It is freely available and you are welcome to use it however you see fit.

That said, no support is guaranteed. I am open to suggestions, improvements, and contributions, but there is no commitment to address issues or review pull requests.

Note: The project was almost entirely vibe-coded, with general oversight from the author.

Quick start

Note: TWICC supports Linux and macOS only — see Platform support.

uvx twicc@latest

Then open http://localhost:3500.

Don't have uvx? It comes with uv, a fast Python package manager. Install it with:

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

If you prefer using pip install twicc in your own virtualenv, that works too.

Features

• Browse all your Claude Code projects and sessions
• View full conversation history with tool use details
• Start and interact with Claude agents from the browser
• Handle tool approvals and answer Claude's questions interactively
• Full control of model, context window (200K / 1M), effort, thinking and permissions
• Command palette (Ctrl+K, or Cmd+K on Mac), slash commands (/), and file references (@)
• Track costs and token usage per session
• Daily activity heatmaps
• Git integration (log, diffs, file browser)
• Full-text search across all sessions (Ctrl+Shift+F) with in-session search (Ctrl+F)
• Self-aware: TwiCC ships a Claude Code plugin (with skills) that lets Claude query your projects, sessions, costs, and search history — Claude knows about itself
• CLI with JSON-output subcommands for scripting (projects, sessions, search, usage…)
• Cron job persistence: scheduled tasks survive TwiCC restarts and are automatically renewed before expiry — unlike Claude Code's CLI where they are lost on restart and expire after 3 days
• Claude Code status monitoring (via status.claude.com)
• Optional password protection
• Real-time updates via WebSocket
• Fully mobile-friendly interface

Remote access

The interface is fully usable on mobile. Combined with a tunnel service like Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok, you can access TWICC from anywhere and interact with Claude Code on the go.

Important: If you expose TWICC over the internet, make sure to enable password protection (see Configuration below).

Mobile usage

The interface is designed to work well on mobile devices. The terminal includes touch-based text selection (drag to select, auto-copied to clipboard) and scrollbar support.

For a comfortable terminal experience on Android, we recommend Unexpected Keyboard — a keyboard that natively supports Ctrl, Esc, Tab, and other keys essential for terminal use.

How it works

TWICC reads the JSONL data files that Claude Code stores in ~/.claude/projects/ and indexes them into a local SQLite database (~/.twicc/db/data.sqlite). These data files remain the source of truth for everything displayed in the interface — TWICC never modifies them. Whether you use Claude Code directly from the terminal or interact through TWICC, everything shows up in the same place.

When you start a session or send messages through TWICC, it uses the Claude Agent SDK to run real Claude Code processes under the hood. This means it uses your existing Claude Code credentials and configuration — there is nothing extra to set up. The conversation data written by Claude Code is then picked up by TWICC's file watcher and displayed in real time.

On each startup, TWICC detects changes and updates its database accordingly. While running, it watches the filesystem for new sessions and updates in real time.

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• A ~/.claude/projects/ directory (created by Claude Code)

Configuration

All configuration is via environment variables, set in ~/.twicc/.env:

Variable	Default	Description
TWICC_PORT	3500	Server port
TWICC_PASSWORD_HASH	(empty)	SHA-256 hash to enable password protection
TWICC_DATA_DIR	~/.twicc/	Data directory (database, logs)

Generate a password hash:

python -c "import hashlib; print(hashlib.sha256(b'your_password').hexdigest())"

Development

git clone https://github.com/twidi/twicc.git
cd twicc
cd frontend && npm install && cd ..

Two ways to run in development:

With devctl.py (recommended) — runs Vite dev server with hot-reload, no build step needed:

./devctl.py start

Run ./devctl.py --help for all available commands and configuration options.

With run.py — runs the backend only, requires a frontend build first:

cd frontend && npm run build && cd ..
uv run run.py

Optionally, install dev tools (django-extensions, ipython):

uv sync --group dev

Building and publishing

uv build        # Build sdist + wheel → dist/
uv publish      # Publish to PyPI

The build automatically runs npm ci + npm run build in frontend/ via a hatch build hook — no manual frontend build step needed.

Tech stack

• Backend: Django 6, Uvicorn, Django Channels (WebSocket)
• Frontend: Vue.js 3, Vite
• Database: SQLite (with WAL mode)
• Process management: Claude Agent SDK

Platform support

TWICC runs on Linux and macOS. There is no Windows support — the codebase relies on Unix-specific system APIs (PTY, process signals, process groups) that would require significant work to adapt, and the author does not have access to a Windows machine for development and testing.

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is the most realistic path for Windows users. TWICC should work unmodified under WSL2, though this has not been tested. If you are a Windows user and would like to help with testing or contributing WSL compatibility fixes, feel free to open an issue or a pull request.

FAQ

Can I use TWICC while Claude Code is running? Yes. TWICC only reads Claude Code's data files and never modifies them.

Where is my data stored? By default in ~/.twicc/. This includes the SQLite database and log files. Set TWICC_DATA_DIR to change the location.

Where are the logs? In ~/.twicc/logs/backend.log. This file is useful for troubleshooting startup or runtime issues.

How do I reset the database? Delete ~/.twicc/db/data.sqlite* and restart TWICC. It will rebuild from Claude Code's source files.
