What it does

Sessions Viewer turns local agent transcripts into a searchable workspace. Open a project, inspect exactly what happened, then continue the work from the same place without manually hunting through JSONL files.

[!TIP] New — Tool management. Skills, MCP servers, hooks, and instruction files for all seven agents in one place. Find the duplicate skills and broken links on your machine and repair them, see what your MCP servers cost in context before you type, and dry-run a hook before you trust it. Every change previews the exact file edits first.

→ Read the tool management guide

Read and find context

• Faithful replay — preserve thinking chains, tool-call pairings, structured diffs, and inline screenshots.
• Global search — search across projects and jump to the exact matching message with ⌘⇧F.
• Jump to prompt — scan every user prompt in a compact list, then scroll and flash the selected message.
• Views history — revisit recent read and chat views, with per-project search and favorites.

Continue the work

• Built-in chat — start or resume Claude Code and Codex sessions with model, reasoning-effort (including Opus Ultracode), and permission-mode controls.
• One-click resume — open a session in an embedded terminal or in Terminal.app, cmux, iTerm2, Ghostty, or Warp.
• Shell tabs — run regular shell commands beside agent sessions; tabs persist across restarts.
• Launch arguments — configure per-agent CLI flags such as --dangerously-skip-permissions for new and resumed sessions.

Keep projects organized

• Split panes — arrange side-by-side or stacked panes, drag tabs between panes, and keep each project's layout across restarts.
• cmux integration — reuse workspaces by working directory, find running sessions, choose smart split directions, and name tabs after directories.
• Bookmarks — pin frequently used folders to the sidebar for quick access.
• Rename and trash — sync session renames back to the CLI and soft-delete sessions with restore support.

Understand usage and share results

• Stats and pricing — inspect token spend and cost by project, model, or tool using live pricing from models.dev; macOS menu bar stats show Today / 7d / 30d totals per agent.
• Flexible export — export one session or a batch as offline-readable Markdown, HTML, or lossless JSON.
• Read-only safety — source JSONL files are never modified or removed.

Supported session sources

Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Kimi Code, Pi, Antigravity CLI, and opencode. Grok Build, Kimi Code, and Pi provide history, terminal, export, analysis, and resume workflows; their GUI chat is intentionally not included.

Where each one stores its sessions on disk, with commands for reading a transcript by hand, is documented at sessions-viewer.js-bridge.com/agents/.

Install

Grab the latest installer from Releases, or follow the installation guide:

Platform	File
macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel)	.dmg
Windows x64	-setup.exe / .msi
Linux x86_64	.deb / .AppImage

[!IMPORTANT] macOS: this build is not notarized. It is ad-hoc signed, so Gatekeeper blocks the first launch with "Apple could not verify 'Sessions Viewer' is free of malware." That is what an unsigned open-source build looks like, not a sign something is wrong.

macOS 15 Sequoia and later — Control-click → Open no longer works, Apple removed that bypass:

1. Double-click the app once and dismiss the warning.
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll to the bottom.
3. Next to "Sessions Viewer" was blocked, click Open Anyway and authenticate.
4. Launch the app again and click Open.

macOS 14 Sonoma and earlier — Control-click (right-click) the app in Finder → Open → Open in the dialog. Once is enough.

Either version, from Terminal:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Sessions Viewer.app"

Prefix with sudo if it reports Operation not permitted.

On Linux the .AppImage is portable — chmod +x and run. The .deb installs with:

sudo apt install ./cc-sessions-viewer_<ver>_amd64.deb

Development

git clone https://github.com/jerrywu001/cc-sessions-viewer.git
cd cc-sessions-viewer
npm install
npm run tauri dev      # dev mode
npm run tauri build    # bundle

Prereqs: Node 20+, Rust stable. See CLAUDE.md for architecture notes.
