Claude Session Monitor

Browse, analyze and continue your Claude Code sessions — right inside VS Code.

Claude Code stores every session as a JSONL file under ~/.claude/projects/. This extension scans them and gives you a fast, themed way to explore what you've done across repositories → branches → sessions, with per-session token / cost / duration detail and a cross-session analytics dashboard.

Install

Open the Extensions view, search “Claude Session Monitor”, and click Install — or via Quick Open (Ctrl/Cmd+P):

Features

Sessions sidebar — a dedicated activity-bar view listing your sessions, grouped by repository and git branch (or a flat, time-sorted list). Live counts, star/favorite, and a favorites group.
Scope toggle — show sessions from all repositories or only the current workspace repository.
Session detail — open any session in a rich, themed panel: full transcript, tool calls, sub-agents, token/context and cost breakdown.
Analytics dashboard — cost, token trends, tool distribution, activity heatmap and cross-session aggregation.
Quick Open — fuzzy-search any session by title / repo / branch and jump straight to its detail (Ctrl+Alt+S / Cmd+Alt+S).
Auto-refresh — the list updates automatically as sessions change on disk.
Status bar — shows the current session count; click to open the dashboard.
Native theming — follows your VS Code color theme (light / dark / high-contrast) and display language (English / 简体中文).
Restores on reload — detail and dashboard panels come back after a window reload.
