From GitHub's daily star counts.

Checked 14 Oct 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

opcode is a Tauri 2 desktop app (React frontend, Rust backend, SQLite) that sits on top of the Claude Code CLI. It browses projects and sessions under ~/.claude/projects/, runs custom agents as separate processes, and tracks token usage and cost. It also manages MCP servers, session checkpoints with a diff viewer, and CLAUDE.md files.

Who it is for: Claude Code users who want a desktop GUI for sessions, agents and usage tracking

Strengths

Checkpoints with branching timeline, fork and diff viewer for Claude Code sessions
Usage dashboard breaks down tokens and cost by model, project and date, with export
Reads existing ~/.claude data and can import MCP servers from Claude Desktop
Data stays local in SQLite; README states no telemetry

Weaknesses

Requires the Claude Code CLI; README mentions only Claude models
README says prebuilt executables are not yet published; build needs Rust and Bun
AGPL-3.0 license may restrict use in some organizations
Last tagged release is 2025-08-31, older than recent commits

What it needs

RAM ≥ 4 GB
no GPU
Needs Claude Code CLI, Rust 1.70+, Bun, Git
Models: Claude

How to choose

Check which models it can use: your own keys, local models, or only the vendor's.
See what it may do without asking (edit files, run shell, push) and how you approve.
Prefer agents that work in a branch or worktree you can throw away.
