Find the conversation you forgot you started.

Lantern reads the logs your agent CLIs already write — Claude Code's `~/.claude/projects/`, and optionally [five others](docs/agents.md) — and groups every conversation by **what it is about**, not by which folder it happened to start in. It runs where you already are: a terminal.

$ lantern

The Lantern board in a terminal: six topic columns, each with an icon, a conversation count and its rows, over the hint bar and the status line

One column per topic, conversations as rows, newest topic first. Press `R` to resume a conversation in place and come back to the board when you leave it. [The board](docs/board.md) has the rest of the keys.

The [web UI](docs/web-ui.md) starts behind it and prints its address — the same data, with a full session viewer, search and cost breakdowns, for when a terminal is the wrong shape for what you are doing. `lantern --cli-only` leaves it out: no server, no port, no browser.
