Getting Started

Install

macOS app (recommended for macOS)

Download the native menu bar app for auto-sync, visual browsing, and one-click push — all from your menu bar.

Open the DMG and drag RockstarNinja to your Applications folder
Launch from Applications

See the macOS App docs for details.

CLI (all platforms)

Download and install the rn CLI:

curl -fsSL https://rockstar.ninja/install.sh | sh

This installs the rn binary to ~/.local/bin. Make sure that directory is in your PATH.

Create your config

rn init

This creates ~/.rn/config.toml with sensible defaults. You can edit it later to change your default privacy level, expiration, and redaction rules.

Set a username (optional)

rn account username set myname

This gives you a profile page at rockstar.ninja/@myname and shows your name on shared sessions and plans. Usernames must be 3-20 characters, lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens allowed (but not at the start or end).

You can only change your username once per year, so choose carefully.

Push a session

rn session push

With no arguments, rn selects the most recent session from your current project (from any enabled provider — Claude Code, Copilot). On first push, rn automatically generates an Ed25519 keypair and registers with the server — no email, no password, no OAuth. You'll get a URL like https://rockstar.ninja/s/abc123xyz456.

A session rendered on rockstar.ninja

rn session push --title "fixing the auth bug" --expires 7d --public

Add a title, set it to expire in 7 days, and make it publicly visible.

See an example session at rockstar.ninja/s/E-NnuNs0jw-4.

Push a plan

rn plan push my-plan

Push a plan by name (partial match from ~/.claude/plans/). Plans are versioned automatically — pushing the same plan again creates a new version if the content changed.

See an example plan at rockstar.ninja/p/sC_UXIr19eyp.

Push a skill

rn skill push my-skill

Push a skill from .claude/skills/my-skill/. Skills are versioned and shareable — others can pull your public skills with rn skill pull @you/my-skill.

Projects

Sessions are automatically grouped into projects based on your local project directory. When you push a session from ~/Projects/my-app/, a project named my-app is created and the session is linked to it. Projects get their own page at rockstar.ninja/proj/{nanoid} with a timeline of sessions and pinned plans.

To manage projects manually:

rn project list
rn project add-plan my-project my-plan
rn project open my-project
