Real-time dashboard for Claude Code agents — monitor status, token usage, git branches, PRs, and containers
Like the Byakugan — the Hyūga clan's kekkei genkai — byakugan sees through your entire development environment from a single screen.
While active, it monitors all running Claude Code processes in near-360° real-time vision. From chakra flow (token usage) to each process's inner state (thinking / executing / waiting), to intelligence from kilometers away (multiple repos, branches, PRs) — all gathered on one screen. Even tenketsu (Docker container status) never escapes its sight.
Click any row to instantly jump to the corresponding VSCode / Cursor window. macOS only.
- Developers working with multiple displays
- Developers who use VSCode or Cursor as their primary IDE, with multiple instances open simultaneously, each running a Claude Code agent in its own terminal
Real usage — multiple worktrees of the same repository grouped together:
Demo mode — all sensitive info replaced with dummy data (toggle with the Demo button):
Each Claude Code process appears as a row with:
- Project + Dir + Branch + PR columns
- Status: live Claude state —
thinking/tool_use/executing/waiting - Docker containers status (
🐳 3/4 api db redis) — opt-in viaBYAKUGAN_DOCKER=true - CPU / MEM / Uptime stats
- Column show/hide: click any column header to toggle visibility (persisted)
- Star: pin important processes to the top
- Drag & drop row reordering: drag rows to reorder, persisted in localStorage
- Recently opened projects: editor windows without an active Claude process, collapsible
- Token usage: 5-hour and weekly Claude API usage (e.g.
5h:32% (2h5m)[reset:02:00] wk:35%(2d13h)) - Working/idle counts: Live count of active and idle agents
- Demo mode: Replace all project info with dummy data for screenshots
- One-click IDE focus: Click any row to instantly activate the corresponding VSCode / Cursor window (rows with editor icon only)
- Selection highlight: Last clicked row retains highlight until another is selected
- Dark / light theme: Follows system preference
- SSE-based live updates: Refreshes every 2 seconds
- PR info caching:
gh pr viewis only called whenFETCH_HEADchanges (on push/pull/fetch) - Hot reload: Auto-reloads the UI when files in
public/change during development
- macOS (uses
ps,lsof) - Node.js 18+
- GitHub CLI (
gh) — for PR link detection - Git — for branch info
codeCLI (optional) — for "Open in VSCode" worktree feature (install via VSCode: Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH)
