claude-view
Browse and search your Claude Code sessions in a beautiful local web UI.
Quick Start
npx claude-viewThis downloads the pre-built binary for your platform, caches it locally, and starts a local web server. Open the printed URL in your browser to explore your Claude Code sessions.
What It Does
- Reads your local
~/.claude/session files (JSONL) - Indexes them into a local SQLite database for fast search
- Serves a React UI at
http://localhost:47892 - Everything stays on your machine -- no data is sent anywhere
Configuration
| Env Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CLAUDE_VIEW_PORT | 47892 | Port for the local server |
| PORT | 47892 | Alternative port override |
Supported Platforms
| OS | Architecture | |---|---| | macOS | Apple Silicon (arm64), Intel (x64) | | Linux | x64 | | Windows | x64 |
How It Works
On first run, npx claude-view downloads a platform-specific tarball from GitHub Releases containing a compiled Rust binary and bundled frontend assets. The binary is cached at ~/.cache/claude-view/ so subsequent runs start instantly.
