Claude Code History Search Analytics

Browse, search, inspect, and resume your Claude Code conversations — directly inside VS Code.

Active sidebar shows all your Claude Code sessions grouped by project, with rich metadata
Session metadata cards — message count, files modified, cost (when available), +/- lines changed
Sorting — by date, message count, or recent activity; pinned sessions float to the top
Project filtering — scope the list to your current VS Code workspace or browse all projects
Compact view — toggle between full metadata and a minimal title+timestamp view

Archive + Pin — archive old sessions out of sight; pin favorites to the top. Both persist across restarts.
Full conversation viewer with Markdown, syntax highlighting, and collapsible tool calls/outputs
Full-text search across all indexed conversations
Files changed panel — every file touched during a session, with per-file +/- line counts, grouped into Project files vs Other (Claude/system), and native VS Code diffs on click
Branch, subagent & fork grouping — sessions branched with /branch or forked via the app's "Fork conversation from here" are grouped under their parent, with expand/collapse toggles and dismissible "possible fork" links for heuristically detected forks
One-click resume — copy, run, or prefill claude --resume commands
Analytics dashboard — active hours, weekly distribution, top modified files, and usage trends
Quota status bar — track plan usage and reset windows at a glance

Design

Local-first — all data stays on your machine. No cloud backend, no sync, no API calls.
Privacy-first — no telemetry, no analytics, no accounts, no payment.
Claude Code only — built specifically for Claude Code's session format.

Click the Claude History icon in the Activity Bar.
The extension discovers your sessions under ~/.claude/projects/ automatically.
Click any session to view it; use the search icon in the Search view to search across all conversations.
