Claude Code History

Browse and search your Claude Code conversation history directly inside VS Code.

Claude Code stores conversations locally but offers no built-in UI to browse them. This extension fills that gap.

Features

  • Conversation Browser — View all past Claude Code conversations sorted by date
  • Full Conversation View — Read user/assistant messages, tool calls, and thinking blocks
  • Search — Real-time filtering by keywords
  • Project Filter — Switch between multiple projects
  • Dark/Light Theme — Automatically adapts to your VS Code theme
  • Zero Config — Just install and press Cmd+Shift+H (or Ctrl+Shift+H)

Usage

  1. Install the extension
  2. Press Cmd+Shift+H (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+H (Windows/Linux)
  3. Browse your conversations in the sidebar, click to view details

You can also open it via Command Palette: Claude History: Open Chat Browser

How It Works

Claude Code stores conversation data as JSONL files in ~/.claude/projects/. This extension reads those files locally — no data is sent anywhere. Everything stays on your machine.

Requirements

  • Claude Code CLI installed and used at least once
  • VS Code 1.85.0 or later

Privacy

This extension:

  • Reads only local files from ~/.claude/projects/
  • Sends zero data to any server
  • Has no telemetry
  • Requires no authentication

Keybindings

Command macOS Windows/Linux
Open Chat Browser Cmd+Shift+H Ctrl+Shift+H
