Session Browser

The Session Browser is the main view in claude-view. It shows a searchable, filterable list of all Claude Code sessions detected on your machine.

What’s tracked

For each session:

Project name and directory
Start time, end time, duration
Token counts (input, output, cache read, cache write)
Total cost (USD)
Model used (e.g., claude-opus-4-5, claude-sonnet-4-5)
Git commit (if a commit was made during the session)

Search

Full-text search across all session content — tool calls, messages, file names. Uses Tantivy (Rust-native search library, similar to Lucene) for fast in-process search.

Search is available via:

The search bar in the Session Browser
Cmd+K / Ctrl+K global shortcut
The MCP search_sessions tool

Filters

Filter sessions by:

Project — sessions grouped by project directory
Model — filter by Claude model used
Date range — sessions from a specific period
Status — active, completed, or error sessions

Bulk select & archive

Select multiple sessions using checkboxes (click the checkbox on each row, or use the bulk select mode toggle). An archive toolbar appears with options to archive the selected sessions. Filter state persists in the URL, so you can bookmark filtered views.

The sidebar uses VS Code-style collapsible sections. Click any section header to collapse or expand it. Collapse state persists across sessions.
