[!NOTE] Claude Code can be configured to clean up old transcripts via the `cleanupPeriodDays` setting. If you want this tool to browse your full history, [confirm your retention setting](#conversation-history-retention) first.

Why This Exists

Claude Code stores all your conversations locally in `~/.claude/projects/` as JSONL files, but there's no built-in way to browse or search them. This tool gives you:

Full-text search across all your conversations
Project organization - see conversations grouped by project
Real-time updates - new messages appear instantly via WebSocket
Token tracking - monitor your usage patterns
Mobile-friendly - works on desktop and mobile browsers

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/drewburchfield/claude-code-chat-explorer.git
cd claude-code-chat-explorer

# Start the container
./quick-start.sh

Open **http://localhost:9876** in your browser.

Features

Browse & Search

Project view - Conversations organized by project directory
Full-text search - FTS5-powered search with highlighted snippets, indexing message text, thinking blocks, tool inputs/results, and system content (matches what's on disk)
Query operators - AND / OR / NOT, "exact phrase", and prefix*
Filters - Narrow by project, model, date range, and subagents; facet values come from GET /api/facets
Role/tool filtering - Restrict matches to a message role (user / assistant / system / tool) or a specific tool
