Synapse: Real-Time Dashboard for Visualizing Claude Code Agent Sessions
Synapse is a real-time dashboard that visualizes Claude Code agent sessions as live, interactive node graphs, addressing the issue of opaque agent operations where users only see a blinking cursor.
Installation and Requirements
One command installs and starts Synapse:
npm install -g @synapse-ai/cli
synapse startRequirements: Node.js and Claude.
Key Features
- Visualizes every agent spawn, tool call, and subagent as connected nodes
- Four analysis lenses: tree view, treemap, sankey diagram, and compaction timeline
- Tool call grouping to prevent 47 tool calls from creating 47 separate nodes
- Remote approval from mobile devices — start a job on desktop, approve from phone
- Keyboard navigation for navigating large node trees (e.g., 200 nodes) without mouse
Development Background
Built entirely with Claude Code. The developer provided the ideas, while Claude generated the 38,000 lines of code.
