Find and reopen past Claude Code sessions — searchable, rendered as a chat.

Install & run

npx claude-chatview

Your browser opens automatically at http://localhost:3001.

Global install:

npm i -g claude-chatview
cview

Features

• Per-session chat view with grouped consecutive messages, code-aware
  Markdown, and per-tool cards.
• Inline subagent expansion — Agent tool calls expand the subagent
  transcript at the call site.
• Conversation timeline — a draggable slider across the top of the chat
  for seeking in long sessions. Arrow / Home / End / PageUp / PageDown
  also work.
• Open in terminal — every session row produces a
  cd "<cwd>" && claude --resume <session-id> snippet you can copy.
• Search across session title, last reply, project name, cwd path,
  git branch, and sessionId prefix.
• Light and dark themes (respects prefers-color-scheme).
• Export — save the visible transcript as standalone HTML, or screenshot
  any selection of messages as PNG / JPG.
• Read-only. cview never writes to your session files.

Keyboard

The timeline slider is focusable:

Configuration

Security
