Claude Sessions: Lightweight Desktop App for Browsing Claude Code History
Claude Sessions: A Minimalist Tool for Claude Code History
Claude Sessions is a lightweight desktop application built specifically for browsing Claude Code session history. The developer created it as an alternative to claude-devtools, which they found overkill for their use case of frequently revisiting old prompts and responses from small, focused coding sessions.
What It Does
- Displays all sessions across all project folders, organized by project
- Includes search functionality within messages
- Preserves session names from /rename commands
- Handles sessions with 500k+ tokens without performance lag
- Shows compaction summaries
- Supports keyboard navigation
- Runs completely locally — reads data from ~/.claude/projects directory
What It Doesn't Do
The developer intentionally excluded several features to keep the tool focused:
- No cost tracking
- No analytics or dashboards
- No timeline visualization
Technical Details
The application addresses specific pain points the developer experienced with existing solutions. claude-devtools, while feature-rich with cost tracking and timeline views, struggled with large sessions and contained more functionality than needed for simple conversation browsing. Claude Sessions is designed as a stripped-down alternative that prioritizes speed and simplicity for developers who primarily need to reference past Claude Code conversations.
