Quickstart

Create an account

Sign up at app.watchdawg.dev and proceed with the steps in the app to create your organization and first project.

Install the CLI

npm install -g @watchdawg/cli

Log in

watchdawg login

This opens your browser for authentication. Once you confirm, the CLI stores your credentials locally.

Set up your project

Navigate to your project directory and run:

watchdawg setup

The CLI walks you through a few prompts:

1. Project selection — pick an existing project or create a new one
2. Prompt logging — choose whether to include prompt content in telemetry (opt-in)
3. Settings scope — where to register hooks:
   • Local — this machine only (.claude/settings.local.json)
   • Project — shared with your team via version control (.claude/settings.json)
   • Global — all projects on this machine (~/.claude/settings.json)

Use Claude Code

Start a Claude Code session as usual. Telemetry is collected automatically in the background. Sessions appear in your dashboard within seconds.
