Installation

Recommended: Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew tap FlorianBruniaux/tap
brew install ccboard

Why Homebrew? Simple one-command install, automatic updates via brew upgrade, no manual Rust setup required.

Alternative: cargo install (requires Rust 1.85+)

cargo install ccboard

Why cargo? ccboard's target audience (Claude Code users) often has Rust installed. Ensures compatibility and always installs latest crates.io version.

Note: cargo install builds the binary from crates.io source without running the WASM build step — Web UI (ccboard web) will not serve a frontend. For full Web UI support, use Homebrew, the install script, or a pre-built binary from GitHub Releases (all embed the WASM frontend at compile time).

Alternative: Install Script (macOS/Linux/Windows)

One-liner install (no Rust required):

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlorianBruniaux/ccboard/main/install.sh | bash

This script:

• Auto-detects your OS and architecture
• Downloads the latest pre-compiled binary
• Installs to ~/.local/bin (customizable with INSTALL_DIR)
• Checks if binary is in PATH

Windows users: Use Git Bash, WSL, or download manually from releases.

Alternative: Pre-built binaries (manual)

Download from GitHub Releases:

Platform	Status	Download
macOS (x86_64/ARM64)	✅ Fully tested	ccboard-macos-*.tar.gz
Linux (x86_64/ARM64)	⚠️ Community-tested	ccboard-linux-*.tar.gz
Windows (x86_64)	🧪 Experimental	ccboard-windows-*.exe.zip

Manual installation (macOS/Linux):

# Extract
tar xzf ccboard-macos-x86_64.tar.gz  # or ccboard-linux-*

# Move to PATH
mv ccboard ~/.local/bin/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/ccboard

Manual installation (Windows):

1. Download ccboard-windows-x86_64.exe.zip
2. Extract ccboard-windows-x86_64.exe
3. Rename to ccboard.exe
4. Move to a directory in your PATH (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\.local\bin\)

Platform support:

Why ccboard Exists

Problem: Claude Code has no built-in visualization/analysis tools beyond basic CLI commands (/history, /stats). Users are left scripting with jq, grep, or manually opening JSON files.

Solution: ccboard is the only tool dedicated to Claude Code monitoring and management:

• Zero direct competitors for Claude Code dashboard (verified 2026-02-04)
• Not competing with LangSmith/W&B (they trace LangChain API calls, not local Claude sessions)
• Fills the gap between CLI commands and full observability

Unique Position

1. All-local: Reads ~/.claude files, no SaaS/API required
2. Unified Dashboard: 12 tabs (config, hooks, agents, MCP, analytics, security audit, search) vs basic CLI
3. Performance: SQLite cache (89x speedup), handles 10K+ sessions
4. Dual Interface: TUI + Web in single 5.8MB binary

Risk: Anthropic could integrate dashboard into Claude Code CLI. But currently, nothing exists.

Configuration

API Usage Estimation

ccboard displays estimated API costs in the Dashboard with plan-based budget tracking. Configure your subscription plan to see accurate percentages and budget limits.

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json (global) or .claude/settings.json (per-project):

{
  "subscriptionPlan": "max20x"
}

Available plans:

Plan	Subscription Cost	Config Value
Claude Pro	$20/month	"pro"
Claude Max 5x	$50/month	"max5x"
Claude Max 20x	$200/month	"max20x"
API (Pay-as-you-go)	No fixed cost	"api"

Important: Max plans have rate limits (requests/day), not fixed spending limits. The costs shown are subscription prices used as reference points for budget estimation.

Dashboard display:

┌─ 💰 API Usage (Est.) - Claude Max 20x ─┐
│ Today:      $ 2.45 / $200.00  (  1.2%)│
│ This week:  $ 8.12 / $200.00  (  4.1%)│
│ This month: $78.40 / $200.00  ( 39.2%)│
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘

Color coding:

• 🟢 Green: < 60% of monthly budget
• 🟡 Yellow: 60-80% of monthly budget
• 🔴 Red: > 80% of monthly budget

Note: This is a local estimation calculated from your billing blocks, not real-time API data. For actual limits, use :usage in Claude Code or the Anthropic dashboard.

Budget Alerts & Tracking

Configure custom monthly budgets with automatic alerts in the Analytics tab (Tab 9 → Overview). Get visual warnings when approaching your spending limit.

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json (global) or .claude/settings.json (per-project):

{
  "budget": {
    "monthlyBudgetUsd": 50.0,
    "alertThresholdPct": 80.0
  }
}

Configuration:

Field	Type	Description	Default
monthlyBudgetUsd	number	Your monthly spending limit in USD	Required
alertThresholdPct	number	Alert threshold percentage (0-100)	80.0

Analytics Overview display:

┌─ Budget Status ─────────────────────────────┐
│ Monthly Est: $42.50                         │
│ Budget:      $50.00  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  85% │
│ Remaining:   $7.50 (15%)                    │
│                                              │
│ ⚠️  WARNING: Approaching budget limit (85%) │
│ 💡 TIP: Projected overage: $5.20 if trend…  │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Visual indicators:

• 🟢 Green bar: < 60% of budget (safe zone)
• 🟡 Yellow bar: 60-80% of budget (caution)
• 🔴 Red bar + ⚠️: ≥ 80% of budget (warning)

Alert types:

1. Budget Warning: Current cost approaching threshold
2. Projected Overage: Forecast predicts budget exceeded if trend continues
3. Usage Spike: Daily tokens > 2x average (anomaly detection)

4-level priority (higher overrides lower):

1. ~/.claude/settings.json (global)
2. ~/.claude/settings.local.json (global, not committed to git)
3. .claude/settings.json (project, committed)
4. .claude/settings.local.json (project, developer-specific)

Example workflows:

• Solo developer: Set global budget in ~/.claude/settings.json
• Team project: Set team budget in .claude/settings.json (committed), override personally in .claude/settings.local.json
• Multiple projects: Different budgets per project in each .claude/settings.json

Usage

TUI Mode (Default)

ccboard              # Launch TUI dashboard
ccboard stats        # Print stats and exit
ccboard search "query"   # Search sessions
ccboard recent 10    # Show 10 most recent sessions

Web Mode

ccboard has 2 web workflows depending on your use case:

Option 1: Production (Single Command) ⭐ Recommended

For: Running the full stack (API + Frontend) in production or for general use.

ccboard web

Output:

⠋ Loading sessions and statistics...
✓ Ready in 2.34s (1,247 sessions loaded)

🌐 Backend API + Frontend: http://127.0.0.1:3333
   API endpoints:          http://127.0.0.1:3333/api/*

Features:

• ✅ Single process, single port
• ✅ WASM frontend embedded in the binary (no separate build step)
• ✅ Real-time data updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• ❌ No hot reload (requires trunk build + F5 after code changes when developing)

When to use: Daily use, demos, production, or when you just want the web interface running.

---

Option 2: Development (Hot Reload) 🔧

For: Developing the frontend with automatic recompilation and browser refresh.

# Terminal 1: Start backend API
ccboard web --port 8080

# Terminal 2: Start frontend dev server (run in ccboard repo root)
trunk serve --port 3333

Output Terminal 1:

🌐 Backend API only:       http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/*
   💡 Run 'trunk build' to compile frontend

Output Terminal 2:

📦 Starting build...
✅ Success! App is being served at: http://127.0.0.1:3333

Features:

• ✅ Real-time data updates via SSE
• ✅ Hot reload: Frontend code changes auto-recompile and refresh browser
• ✅ Separate logs for backend and frontend
• ❌ Two terminals required

When to use: When developing the Leptos frontend (editing crates/ccboard-web/src/**/*.rs).

Note: trunk serve automatically proxies /api/* requests to http://localhost:8080 via Trunk.toml config.

---

Dual Mode (TUI + Web)

Run both TUI and web server simultaneously:

ccboard both --port 3333

• Web server runs in background
• TUI runs in foreground
• Shared DataStore (same data, live updates)
• Press q in TUI to exit both

Web Pages

Available Pages (100% TUI parity) ✅:

• / - Dashboard with KPIs and forecast
• /sessions - Sessions browser with live CPU/RAM monitoring 🔥
• /analytics - Analytics with budget tracking
• /config - 4-column configuration viewer
• /hooks - Hooks with syntax highlighting
• /mcp - MCP servers with status
• /agents - Agents/Commands/Skills browser
• /costs - 4 tabs (Overview, By Model, Daily, Billing Blocks)
• /history - History search and filters
• /activity - Security audit & violations feed
• /search - Full-text session search

Session Summaries

Generate and cache an AI summary of any session using claude --print:

# Generate summary (cached to ~/.ccboard/summaries/<id>.md)
ccboard summarize <session-id>

# Regenerate even if cached
ccboard summarize <session-id> --force

# Use a specific model
ccboard summarize <session-id> --model claude-haiku-4-5

Once cached, the summary appears automatically in the Sessions detail pane under AI Summary. Summaries are plain-text, under 200 words, and cover what was accomplished and key decisions.

Discover — Config Optimization

Analyze your session history to surface recurring patterns and suggest what to extract as CLAUDE.md rules, skills, or commands.

# Analyze all projects, last 90 days (default)
ccboard discover --all

# Last 30 days, lower threshold, top 10
ccboard discover --all --since 30d --min-count 2 --top 10

# Current project only
ccboard discover --top 20

# JSON output (pipe to jq)
ccboard discover --all --json | jq '.[0]'

# Semantic analysis via Claude (requires claude in PATH)
ccboard discover --all --llm

Output example:

ccboard discover — 1121 sessions · 42 project(s) · since 90d

📋  CLAUDE.MD RULE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Troubleshooting

"Stats not loading" or "No sessions found"

Run Claude Code at least once to generate ~/.claude directory:

claude  # Or use Claude Code via IDE

Then relaunch ccboard.

"WASM compilation failed" (Web mode)

Ensure trunk is installed:

cargo install trunk
trunk --version  # Should be 0.18+

Then rebuild:

cd ccboard-web
trunk build --release

"Connection refused" (Web mode)

Check if backend port is in use:

lsof -i :8080  # macOS/Linux
netstat -ano | findstr :8080  # Windows

Change port if needed:

ccboard web --port 3333

Linux: "File manager not opening"

Install xdg-utils:

sudo apt install xdg-utils  # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install xdg-utils  # Fedora

Windows: Terminal rendering issues

Use Windows Terminal (not cmd.exe) for proper Unicode support:

• Download: Windows Terminal
• Braille spinners ⠋⠙⠹ render correctly in Windows Terminal

Development

Stack

ccboard/                     # Binary CLI entry point
├── ccboard-core/            # Data layer (parsers, models, store, watcher)
├── ccboard-tui/             # Ratatui frontend (12 tabs)
└── ccboard-web/             # Axum API backend + Leptos WASM frontend

Dependency flow: ccboard → ccboard-tui + ccboard-web → ccboard-core

Core principles: Single binary with dual frontends sharing a thread-safe DataStore. Graceful degradation (partial data if files corrupted/missing). SQLite metadata cache (89x speedup) with lazy content loading. Arc for sessions (50x memory reduction), parking_lot::RwLock for stats/settings.

For detailed architecture documentation, see ARCHITECTURE.md.
