## Introduction

opcode is a powerful, open-source desktop application that revolutionizes how developers interact with Claude Code. Built with Tauri 2, it provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for managing all aspects of your AI-assisted development workflow. From creating custom AI agents and overseeing interactive Claude Code sessions to running secure background agents and tracking usage analytics, opcode serves as a command center, making AI development more accessible and productive.

This tool aims to bridge the gap between the command-line interface of Claude Code and a rich, visual experience, offering features like project and session management, a dashboard for usage analytics, MCP server management, and a unique timeline for session versioning.

## Installation

To get started with opcode, you'll first need the Claude Code CLI installed.

**Prerequisites:**
*   **Claude Code CLI**: Install from [Claude's official site](https://claude.ai/code){:target="_blank"}.
*   **Rust** (1.70.0 or later): Install via `rustup`.
*   **Bun** (latest version): Install via `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`.
*   **Git**: Ensure Git is installed on your system.

**Build from Source:**

1.  **Clone the Repository:**
    bash
    git clone https://github.com/winfunc/opcode.git
    cd opcode
    
2.  **Install Frontend Dependencies:**
    bash
    bun install
    
3.  **Build the Application (Production):**
    bash
    bun run tauri build
    
    The built executable and installers will be located in `src-tauri/target/release/`. Refer to the [official GitHub README](https://github.com/winfunc/opcode#installation){:target="_blank"} for platform-specific dependencies and detailed build instructions.

## Examples

opcode simplifies various tasks within your Claude Code workflow:

### Getting Started
After launching opcode, it will automatically detect your `~/.claude` directory. You can then choose to start with CC Agents or Projects.

### Managing Projects
Navigate through your Claude Code projects visually.

Projects ? Select Project ? View Sessions ? Resume or Start New

Click on any project to view its sessions, resume past sessions with full context, or start new ones.

### Creating Agents
Design and manage custom AI agents with ease.

CC Agents ? Create Agent ? Configure ? Execute

Configure agent names, icons, system prompts, choose Claude models, and set permissions for file access and network usage before executing tasks.

### Tracking Usage
Monitor your Claude API usage and costs in real-time.

Menu ? Usage Dashboard ? View Analytics

The dashboard provides detailed token analytics by model, project, and time period, with visual charts and data export options.

### Working with MCP Servers
Manage Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers from a central UI.

Menu ? MCP Manager ? Add Server ? Configure

Add servers manually, import from existing configurations, or import directly from Claude Desktop, and test connections.

## Why Use opcode?

opcode stands out as an essential tool for Claude Code users due to several key advantages:

*   **Intuitive GUI**: Transforms the command-line Claude Code experience into a user-friendly desktop application, enhancing productivity and ease of use.
*   **Custom AI Agents**: Empower yourself to create, manage, and execute specialized AI agents with custom prompts and behaviors, including secure background execution.
*   **Comprehensive Analytics**: Gain deep insights into your Claude API usage, costs, and token consumption with real-time tracking and visual dashboards.
*   **Session Management**: Effortlessly manage projects, view session histories, create checkpoints, and even fork sessions with a visual timeline, providing robust versioning for your coding efforts.
*   **Enhanced Security**: Prioritizes privacy and security with process isolation for agents, granular permission controls, local data storage, and no telemetry.
*   **Open Source**: Offers full transparency and the opportunity for community contributions, built on a modern tech stack (Rust, Tauri, React, TypeScript).
