Claude threads, MIT licence

Command Center

One calm board for every Claude project and thread you run, so you always know which ones need you.

View on GitHub Set it up
The Command Center board in dark mode: Claude thread cards in Now, Next, Waiting on you and Idle columns, each with its project and how long it has sat there.

The board and the phone view, with sample projects.

The problem

Once you run several Claude projects, each with a handful of threads, you lose track. Which ones are still working? Which are waiting on you? Which went quiet three days ago? You end up clicking through every project to find out.

The tools that exist watch Claude Code sessions in a terminal, on one machine. None of them follow Claude app projects or cloud threads, project by project.

What it does

Command Center puts every thread on one board, under the same project it lives in on Claude, with how long it has sat there. Threads report their own status, so the board moves on its own as work starts, needs you and finishes.

It runs on your own server as one small app. Everything stays in a single Docker volume. No database and no outside service.

A short tour with sample projects: at a glance, the board, a project page, spaces and light mode.

Every thread, by projectEach card sits in one of five columns and says how long it has been there.WorkingUp nextWaiting on youIdleDone
SpacesKeep your company and your side projects apart, each with its own projects and colour. Switch between them, or give each its own address.
Pull requests tooPull requests that Claude opens show up as cards under the right project. Merged ones move to Done.
Email from people, optionalConnect your mailboxes and see only mail from real people, tagged by project. Opening a message never marks it read.
Follow-upsSee who you wrote to who hasn't replied yet, and reply from the board.
Deadlines and healthQuick capture for ideas, deadlines, and simple checks that your servers are up.

How to set it up

You need a Claude account using Claude Code on the web, a server that stays on with Docker, and a web address for the board.

Part 1. Install it

  1. Download the codeOn your server:
    git clone https://github.com/amaeteventurestudios/command-center.git
cd command-center
  2. Name your spaces and projectsOpen command.config.json. A space is a group of projects with its own colour, such as your company or your side projects. List your projects with exactly the names they have in Claude.
  3. Make your two keysCopy .env.example to .env. Set DASHBOARD_PASSWORD to sign in with, and REPORT_TOKEN for your threads. Never paste the token into a chat.
    # run twice, one value for each
openssl rand -hex 32
  4. Start itThe first build takes a few minutes. It then runs on port 3300 on that machine.
    docker compose up -d --build
  5. Put it on HTTPSCaddy is the simplest. Put this in /etc/caddy/Caddyfile, then reload Caddy. nginx or a Cloudflare Tunnel work too.
    board.yourname.com {
    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:3300
}
  6. Point your address at itAdd an A record for board with your server's IP address. Then open your board and sign in. Your projects are listed on the left.

Part 2. Connect your Claude projects

  1. Give your threads the keyIn each Claude Code cloud environment your projects use, add a network secret: host board.yourname.com, header Authorization, value Bearer plus your REPORT_TOKEN. The key is added to each request, so it never appears in a chat.
  2. Paste one instruction into each projectThe guide has the block to paste. Change three things: your board's address, the space id and the project's name. It tells each thread to post its card when it starts, needs you or finishes.
  3. Sync each project onceIn each project's main chat, send this. Within a minute its threads are on the board, and from then on they keep their own cards up to date.
    Sync the command center board now in a new thread.

Command Center is an independent project. It is not made by or affiliated with Anthropic.

HUNGREE Goat

Your own 24/7 radio station. It plays your music library around the clock, on the web and live on YouTube, and fixes itself when something breaks.

View on GitHub Listen live
The HUNGREE Goat control dashboard: what is on air, the track now playing, the day's schedule, playback rules, the request queue, fallback sources, outputs and stream health.

The control dashboard, running the Lo-Fi Afrobeats station.

What it is

HUNGREE Goat began as the engine behind a Lo-Fi Afrobeats station. It plays your own music library on a loop, all day and all night, to a player on your website and, with looping visuals and a now playing overlay, live to YouTube.

You run it from a private control dashboard: upload music, build playlists, schedule what plays when, take requests and step in when you need to. One install can run several stations.

Built to run unattended

A 24/7 stream fails quietly. The encoder can look healthy while nothing reaches YouTube. HUNGREE Goat watches for real forward progress, not just a running process, and restarts the audio or video when either stalls.

Its health page tells you what it knows and what it can't confirm, so you are never shown a green light that isn't true.

The YouTube setup page: the connection, every step of the pipeline from music player to YouTube, encoder metrics, and the auto-recovery watchdog.

YouTube setup and health: each step from the music player to YouTube, checked on its own.

24/7 playbackScheduled playlists, weighted rotation, loudness levelling, silence detection and backup sources.
Public web playerA listening page anyone can open, with phone playback handled properly.
YouTube LiveStreams over RTMPS with looping visuals, using hardware video encoding where the machine has it.
Self-healingWatchdogs restart the audio and video when they stall, and keep a history of every incident.
Monitoring and alertsChecks from inside and outside your network, with free push alerts to your phone.
DJ studioA mixing studio in the browser for live or recorded mixes, including workout mixes.

Runs on a Linux machine with Docker and your own music. A small always-on PC is ideal. Free under the AGPL-3.0. For other terms, commercial licences are available from us.
