Overview

Claude Dashboard is a locally-hosted analytics dashboard that visualizes your Claude Code usage by reading JSON logs from ~/.claude. No API key or internet connection required — it works entirely with your local activity logs. Six interactive tabs cover everything from real-time token burn rate and active subagent sessions to 18-week activity grids, model cost comparisons, error analysis, and searchable session transcripts with CSV/JSON export.

The Verdict

Who Should Use Claude Dashboard?

Best For

  • Claude Code power users tracking burn rate against 5-hour session limits
  • Developers comparing cost-efficiency across Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku
  • Anyone wanting session transcripts and tool error analysis locally
  • Teams wanting a self-hosted, always-on usage monitor via Docker

Not Ideal For

  • Non-Claude Code users (claude.ai web usage is not captured)
  • Those without Node.js 18+ or Docker
  • Users needing exact rate-limit reset times (not available in local logs)

What's Great

  • Fully offline — reads local logs only, no API key needed
  • Six tabs covering live burn rate, agents, trends, models, insights, and sessions
  • Real-time subagent monitoring with token counts and git branch details
  • Interactive pricing calculator with cache efficiency modeling
  • 18-week GitHub-style activity heatmap
  • Searchable session history with full transcript drill-downs
  • CSV/JSON export; Docker support for always-on deployment

Watch Out For

  • New project (May 2026), still maturing
  • Requires Node.js 18+ or Docker
  • Only works with Claude Code logs — claude.ai web usage not included
  • Cannot display exact rate-limit reset times (not in local logs)
