README
DeskPulse
ESP32 desk-side usage monitor for Claude Code and Codex.
DeskPulse is maintained as a separate multi-provider fork of [HermannBjorgvin/Clawdmeter](https://github.com/HermannBjorgvin/Clawdmeter). The GitHub fork relationship is intentionally retained. See [UPSTREAM.md](UPSTREAM.md) for origin history and [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md) for license and third-party asset notes.
Some runtime names still use the original `Claude Controller` and `claude-usage-daemon` identifiers for compatibility with existing BLE pairing and service setup.
Supported Hardware
- Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-2.16
- Waveshare ESP32-C6-Touch-AMOLED-2.16
- Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.8
Board env names:
waveshare_amoled_216waveshare_amoled_18
Requirements
- PlatformIO CLI
- macOS:
python3 - Linux:
curl,bluetoothctl,busctl - Claude Code login for Claude usage
- Codex / ChatGPT login for Codex usage
If `pio` is not on your PATH, try `~/.platformio/penv/bin/pio`.
macOS Setup
1. Flash firmware
./flash-mac.sh waveshare_amoled_216
./flash-mac.sh waveshare_amoled_18 /dev/cu.usbmodem1101The first command auto-detects `/dev/cu.usbmodem*`. Pass the serial port explicitly if more than one device is connected.
2. Pair Bluetooth
After flashing, open **System Settings -> Bluetooth** and connect to `Claude Controller`.
The daemon discovers the device by that BLE name.
3. Install daemon
./install-mac.shThe installer:
- creates
daemon/.venv/ - installs
bleakandhttpx - creates
daemon/config.tomlif missing - installs
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.claude-usage-daemon.plist - starts the LaunchAgent
On first run, allow the macOS Bluetooth permission prompt.
4. Choose provider
