Overboard
Free · MIT · No API key

The dashboard is free.
Forever.

The Overboard plugin turns one Claude Code session into your assistant: it watches every session across your projects, keeps a browser dashboard current, and reports what shipped — on your existing Claude plan.

Install in Claude Code
The Overboard dashboard: project list with activity grids on the left, the selected project's report and Recent work cards in the center, launch and vision context on the right

What you get

Hooks on every session

Every Claude Code session you run is observed — start, stop, tool use — and logged locally. Nothing phones home.

The board

A strip on the left picks Projects, Scheduler or Plugins. Projects is the three-pane board: activity grids and review flags, the selected project's report and Recent work cards, your launch and vision context. At localhost:8787.

Scheduler + Dispatcher

Agents that run real Claude Code sessions in Herdr on a schedule (daily, weekly, every N hours, once), a 10-day agenda, run history with what each run reported — and a Dispatcher: type what should get done, a short session picks the project and the time. From your phone? That's the Mac app.

The /overboard assistant

Run /overboard and your assistant sweeps the backlog: summaries, architecture write-ups, review cards from real diffs — then stops.

Key-free by design

Python standard library only — no pip install, no venv, no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. GitHub, Bitbucket, and local-only git sources all merge into one board.

Install

From the Productive Mark marketplace, inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add mrieck/claude-plugins
/plugin install overboard@productive-mark

Then fully restart Claude Code (quit and relaunch, not just /reload-plugins) and check /mcp shows overboard ✔ connected. Needs python3 3.9+ on your PATH — stock macOS and any recent Linux qualify. Run /overboard to open the dashboard.

When you outgrow the browser tab

The plugin is manual and browser-based, and that's a fine place to start. Overboard for Mac is the automated, ambient version: scheduled overnight sessions, menu bar presence, and usage meters — $49, one-time, reading the same local data.
