Pulse for Claude Code

A local dashboard for Claude Code that shows what Claude is doing, what it is spending, and lets you approve its tool calls from your phone. Zero dependencies, nothing leaves your machine.

Claude Code already writes every session to disk. Pulse reads those files (read only) and turns them into a live dashboard: token spend by hour, day and week, the context fill of your active session, an ambient view of Claude at work, full-text search across everything you have ever run, and a notification with Allow / Allow all / Deny buttons when Claude needs you, on your desktop or your phone. No account, no telemetry, no network calls.

Why you might want it:

• Approve from your phone. A push with working Allow / Allow all / Deny buttons. No Wi-Fi setup, no IP, no open port: it works from anywhere, even on cellular.
• Never lose a session. One command recovers your last session as a readable transcript, and Pulse auto-snapshots active ones, so a crash or a frozen laptop never costs you context.
• See the spend. Live tokens and API-equivalent cost by hour, day, week, model and project, against budgets you set, with a phone alert when you cross one.
• Ambient office. A full-screen view of a little mascot working, resting, or waiting on you, with a rough ETA. Quietly addictive on a second monitor.
• Search everything. Full-text search across every session on disk, one click to the transcript.
• Local and private. Reads ~/.claude read only, serves on 127.0.0.1, zero dependencies, no telemetry.
