// how it works

How it works

  1. Install Claude Code first

    opcode is a front-end for Claude Code, so make sure Claude Code works on your machine.

  2. Get opcode

    Download a release build from the project site, or clone the repo to build from source.

  3. Build and configure

    Source builds need Rust, Bun and the platform dependencies listed in the README; then open your first project.

  4. Run your first session

    Create an agent, start an interactive session, and watch usage in the analytics dashboard.

Why people love it

Project and session management

Organize Claude Code projects and manage interactive sessions from a visual interface.

Custom CC agents

Create and configure custom agents for different tasks and run them, including in the background.

Usage analytics dashboard

Track token usage and costs across sessions in a built-in analytics view.

MCP server management

Add and manage Model Context Protocol servers without hand-editing config files.

Timeline and checkpoints

Follow a timeline of session activity and use checkpoints to revisit earlier states.

CLAUDE.md management

View and edit CLAUDE.md project instruction files from the app.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the source code from GitHub and enter the project directory.

    git clone https://github.com/winfunc/opcode.git
    cd opcode
  2. Install build prerequisites

    Building from source requires Rust (via rustup) and Bun, plus platform libraries listed in the README.

    # Install Rust via rustup and Bun per the README prerequisites
  3. Build and run

    Install dependencies and launch the Tauri app per the README's Build from Source section.

    bun install
    bun run tauri dev # see README for the exact command

Questions, answered

Who maintains this project?

It is maintained by winfunc and contributors on GitHub.

Is it free to use?

Yes - opcode is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license; note AGPL terms apply if you redistribute or host a modified version.

Does it need a paid API key?

opcode itself is free, but it drives Claude Code, so you need Anthropic access through Claude Code - a Claude subscription or API key - and usage is billed by Anthropic.

How does it compare to alternatives?

Compared with using Claude Code in a plain terminal, opcode adds a GUI for agents, sessions, MCP servers, checkpoints and usage analytics; the underlying agent is still Claude Code.

How do I get started?

Install Claude Code, then download opcode from the project site or build from source, open a project, and start your first session.
