Purpose
ccpeek is a local web application that indexes and lets you browse your Claude Code conversation history, shell snapshots, and other data stored on your machine. It provides a user-friendly interface to search and explore your local AI assistant interactions.

Security Assessment
The tool accesses highly sensitive data by reading directly from the `~/.claude` directory, which contains your raw conversation logs, shell command history, and potentially pasted secrets. It runs a local web server to display this data, which is generally safe as long as the port is only accessible from your localhost. It does not appear to make external network requests or execute arbitrary shell commands. A light code scan found no dangerous patterns, hardcoded secrets, or risky permission requests. Because it handles locally stored AI conversation data, the overall risk is rated as Medium.

Quality Assessment
The project is in active development, with its most recent push being today. It has earned 28 GitHub stars, indicating a growing level of community trust and early adoption. The codebase is well-organized, licensed under the permissive and standard MIT license, and offers multiple secure installation methods (Homebrew, Nix, and Go).

Verdict
Safe to use, provided you are comfortable running a local web server that hosts your Claude Code conversation history.
SUMMARY

Explore your Claude Code history, locally.

Installation

Homebrew

brew install ahmedelgabri/ccpeek/ccpeek

Nix Flakes

# Run directly
nix run github:ahmedelgabri/ccpeek

# Or install into your profile
nix profile install github:ahmedelgabri/ccpeek

Go install

Requires Go 1.25+, Node.js, and pnpm (for building CSS):

# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/ahmedelgabri/ccpeek.git
cd ccpeek
pnpm install
just build
# Binary is at cmd/ccpeek/ccpeek

Pre-built binaries

Download from GitHub Releases.
Archives include shell completions and man pages.

Usage

# Index ~/.claude and start the web UI
ccpeek

# Open browser automatically
ccpeek --open

# Use a different port
ccpeek --port 8080

# Skip re-indexing on subsequent runs
ccpeek --skip-index

# Index only (no server)
ccpeek --index-only

The server reads Claude Code data from ~/.claude, writes an index to
~/.local/share/ccpeek/ccpeek.db (respects $XDG_DATA_HOME), and serves the
web UI at http://localhost:3000.

Flags

Flag Default Description
-p, --port 3000 Server port
--claude-dir ~/.claude Source directory (Claude data)
--data-file ~/.local/share/ccpeek/ccpeek.db SQLite database file path
--skip-index false Skip indexing, serve existing data
--index-only false Index and exit
--open false Open browser after starting
--watch false Re-index periodically while serving
--rebuild false Force full rebuild (drop all data and re-index)
--prune false Remove data from source files that no longer exist
--skip-scan false Skip secret scanning after indexing

Shell completions

# Bash
ccpeek completion bash >/etc/bash_completion.d/ccpeek

# Zsh
ccpeek completion zsh >"${fpath[1]}/_ccpeek"

# Fish
ccpeek completion fish >~/.config/fish/completions/ccpeek.fish

Homebrew and Nix installations include completions and man pages automatically.

Subcommands

ccpeek scan

Scan indexed data for leaked secrets, API keys, tokens, and passwords. Uses
gitleaks detection rules (150+ patterns). Results are stored in the database
and viewable in the web UI at /scan/.

ccpeek scan

ccpeek export commands

Export bash commands extracted from Claude Code sessions in shell history format.

# Plain (one command per line)
ccpeek export commands

# Append to zsh history
ccpeek export commands --format zsh >> ~/.zsh_history && fc -R

# Append to bash history
ccpeek export commands --format bash >> ~/.bash_history && history -r

# Append to fish history
ccpeek export commands --format fish >> ~/.local/share/fish/fish_history

# Filter by project or date range
ccpeek export commands --project myapp --from 2025-01-01 --to 2025-06-01
