Claudoscope is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app that gives Claude Code users a full session history browser, cost analytics, and search across all their coding sessions. It reads directly from local JSONL session files in ~/.claude/projects/ and works entirely offline — no telemetry, no data sent anywhere, fully MIT-licensed. The tool estimates costs from raw token counts against published API pricing, giving developers a clear picture of where their Claude Code spend is going across projects and sessions. It also automatically scans for leaked API keys and credentials in session content — effectively adding a passive security audit to every session review. Claudoscope fills a real gap: Claude Code's built-in /cost command only covers the current session. Claudoscope gives historical visibility and project-level analytics. It works with any Claude Code deployment including Enterprise API setups where cookie-based session trackers fail. Built and maintained by an indie developer, free forever.

WUPHF
Open-source multi-agent 'office' — AI teams that think together

WUPHF is an open-source orchestration system that turns multiple LLM agents into a visible, collaborative 'office.' Spawn a CEO, PM, engineers, and designers as agents running simultaneously — all able to @mention each other, claim tasks, and maintain a shared wiki of knowledge. It's like GitHub for agent thought. The architecture is cleverly frugal: instead of accumulating context, WUPHF uses fresh sessions per turn with Claude's prompt caching, hitting 97% cache hit rates and dropping five-turn sessions to roughly $0.06. Agents are push-driven — they only wake when notified, meaning zero idle token burn. A dual memory system (per-agent Notebooks + shared Wiki) keeps the team aligned across sessions. Built by indie developers and spotted trending on Hacker News, WUPHF targets the rapidly growing segment of builders who want more than one AI "employee" but don't want to pay enterprise orchestration prices. Telegram bridge, Composio integration, and a clean web UI at localhost:7891 round out the package.
Reviewer scorecard
“As someone who runs Claude Code 8+ hours a day, this is immediately valuable. I had no idea which projects were burning through tokens until I installed it. The leaked credential detection is a bonus I didn't expect — it already caught a test API key I'd forgotten to rotate.”
“The token-efficiency story alone makes this worth trying — $0.06 for a five-agent session is remarkable. The @mention graph and shared wiki are genuinely novel patterns that every multi-agent framework should steal.”
“This is fundamentally a log file reader with cost estimation math. Anthropic could ship this natively in Claude Code in a single PR and make Claudoscope obsolete overnight. The gap it fills is real, but the risk of deprecation-by-inclusion is very high for an indie-maintained tool.”
“The 'AI office' metaphor sounds fun until you're debugging why the agent-CEO contradicted the agent-PM three turns ago. Fresh-session architecture fixes cost but breaks longitudinal reasoning — agents can't truly learn from mistakes across days.”
“The emergence of cost-tracking tools for AI coding sessions is a leading indicator of developer maturity. When developers start optimizing their AI spend like they optimize their AWS bill, we've crossed a real threshold. Claudoscope is primitive, but it's the first version of what becomes a full AI development economics dashboard.”
“This is what agent-native software development looks like before the big platforms catch up. The Telegram bridge and push-driven activation pattern hint at a world where your 'team' lives in your chat app, not a browser tab.”
“Indie developers and freelancers who need to track Claude Code costs against client projects will love this. The project-level breakdown finally makes AI tool costs legible as a line item on a client invoice — something that's been surprisingly hard to do until now.”
“Being able to spin up a dedicated 'creative director' agent alongside your developer agents is genuinely useful. The visible activity stream means you can actually see the creative process unfolding in real-time.”
