Analytics Dashboard

What is the Analytics Dashboard in Chau7?

Chau7's Analytics Dashboard is a built-in visual interface that shows terminal command statistics and API analytics. The dashboard presents key metrics so developers can understand their shell usage patterns and API spending without leaving the terminal.

The command stats view shows total commands run, command success rate, average command duration, and a bar chart of most-used commands. The new API Analytics tab, accessible via Cmd+Shift+L in the debug console, shows per-provider cost and token breakdown, per-tab breakdown, and aggregate totals. Data comes from TelemetryStore's existing queries.

What metrics does the Analytics Dashboard show?

Chau7's Analytics Dashboard presents shell command metrics (total commands run, success rate, average duration, most-used commands chart) and API analytics (per-provider cost and token breakdown, per-tab breakdown, aggregate totals).

These statistics help developers understand their shell workflow patterns, identify commands that fail frequently or take unusually long, and track API spending across providers and tabs.

How does Chau7's Analytics Dashboard work?

Chau7 tracks every shell command executed in its terminal tabs, recording the command name, exit code, and duration. It also tracks API usage via TelemetryStore, recording per-provider cost and token counts. The Analytics Dashboard aggregates this data and presents it as summary statistics, charts, and breakdowns.

The dashboard is accessible from within Chau7 and updates as new commands are executed. The API Analytics tab is accessible via Cmd+Shift+L in the debug console and shows per-provider cost/token breakdown, per-tab breakdown, and aggregate totals.

Does the dashboard show API costs or token usage?

Yes. The new API Analytics tab in the debug console (Cmd+Shift+L) shows per-provider cost and token breakdown, per-tab breakdown, and aggregate totals. Data comes from TelemetryStore's existing queries. The dashboard now covers both shell command stats and API analytics in one place.

How does Chau7's analytics dashboard compare to other terminals?

Most terminals do not provide analytics on shell command usage or API costs. iTerm2, Alacritty, Kitty, and the default macOS Terminal have no built-in command statistics or API analytics.

Chau7 is the only terminal that tracks both command execution statistics and API analytics, presenting them in a built-in dashboard with success rates, average durations, a most-used commands chart, and per-provider cost/token breakdowns. No external tools needed. The data stays on your machine.

Why Chau7's Analytics Dashboard matters

Understanding your shell workflow patterns and API spending helps identify inefficiencies. Chau7's Analytics Dashboard shows which commands you run most, how often they succeed, how long they take, and how much you spend on API calls across providers.

This visibility helps developers spot failing commands, identify slow build steps, track API costs per provider and per tab, and understand their day-to-day terminal and AI usage.
