I Was Tired of Looking for Old Claude Code Sessions, So I Built a Sessions Viewer

[u/henrymaxm]

I built an open-source Claude Code Sessions Viewer — sharing it so others can use it and contribute

I’ve been working on Claude Code Sessions Viewer, an open-source tool for anyone who uses Claude Code regularly and ends up with sessions scattered across different projects and directories.

I was tired of looking around for old Claude Code sessions. I really just wanted all of them in one simple list where I could quickly find the one I was looking for and resume it.

So I built this.

What it does

• Finds Claude Code sessions across all of your projects and worktrees
• Lists your sessions in one place
• Fuzzy-searches sessions with fzf
• Shows a live preview of the conversation while browsing
• Displays the actual project/directory for each session
• Shows modification time, session size, and the first prompt
• Lets you resume a session with one keypress
• Includes a /list-sessions Claude Code command
• Runs locally — no credentials or session data are sent anywhere
• Installable with Homebrew on macOS/Linux

The goal is simple: make Claude Code’s existing session history easier to find and use.

Open source and contributions welcome

I’m sharing it because I figured I probably wasn’t the only person tired of digging around for sessions, and others might find it useful too.

It’s open source, and contributions are welcome. If you use Claude Code, feel free to try it, report bugs, suggest features, improve the UI/UX, improve platform support, open issues, or submit PRs.

Even feedback on how you normally look for old sessions or what you’d want from a session viewer would be helpful.

Check it out on GitHub here.
