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.
