The missing session manager for Claude Code, Codex & Cursor.
Recover compacted conversations. Search across hundreds of sessions. Resume with one click.
You've been vibe-coding from ~ for months. You have 200+ Claude Code sessions piled up with no organization. Half of them have been compacted — the original conversation is gone, replaced by a summary. The built-in /resume only shows recent sessions. Finding that one conversation where you solved a tricky bug? Good luck.
Swob reads the JSONL files that Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor store on disk. It parses every session, detects branches and continuations, reconstructs the full pre-compact history, and presents everything in a searchable, organized interface.
Your data stays 100% local. Swob never uploads anything.
Claude Code compacts your conversation to save context. The original messages are still in the JSONL file — Swob finds them and lets you expand any compact block to read what was lost. No other tool does this.
A global hotkey brings up a Spotlight-style search window. Fuzzy search by content, project name, folder, or time (today, yesterday, this week). Filter by source (claude, codex, cursor). Jump to any session in under a second without switching windows.
Search across all sessions at once. Matches auto-expand inside collapsed compact sections, so you find things even when they've been compacted away. In-session search (⌘F) with regex support.
Reads from ~/.claude/projects/, ~/.codex/sessions/, and ~/.cursor/projects/ — browse and resume sessions from all three tools in one place.
- 5 stat cards: total tokens, sessions, turns, active days, estimated time
- 365-day contribution heatmap (like GitHub, but for your AI usage)
- Source breakdown donut chart (Claude Code vs Codex vs Cursor)
- Model usage breakdown
- Project ranking by token consumption
- 30-day daily trend chart
Click any session to reopen it in Terminal or iTerm2. Batch-resume an entire folder. Working directory and --dangerously-skip-permissions mode are preserved. Supports Codex (codex resume) and Cursor (cursor agent --resume) too.
Configure SSH connections and resume sessions on remote servers directly from the app.
swob search "auth bug" # fuzzy search sessions
swob list --source codex # filter by source
swob resume <id> # get resume command
swob insights # token usage stats
swob active # show running sessions
swob install # install CLI + Agent SkillAll commands output JSON. The swob install command also installs a Claude Code Skill, so Claude can call swob as a tool during conversations.
Tree-view sidebar with nested folders, drag-and-drop sorting, and custom titles. Three view modes: Compact (hide tool noise), Full (everything), Markdown (clean export).
Automatically detects when sessions continue from another file (multi-file continuations) and when concurrent branches diverge. Sidechain / rejected-plan branches are dimmed.
Select any text to bookmark it. All highlights are collected in the right sidebar with jump-back links — your personal knowledge trail across sessions.
Every session shows: creation/update time, turn count, token usage (input/output/cache), tool call stats, skill invocations, file operations tree, referenced files list, and estimated active time.
Sessions are backed up to ~/Documents/Swob/ with readable Markdown transcripts. iCloud placeholder files are auto-detected and downloaded on demand.
Green dot indicates which sessions are currently running. Detected via ps polling (1s interval) and file-change watchers.
Every session is auto-exported as Markdown. Drag it into another app (Finder, Notes, another Claude Code session) to carry context across conversations.
Full Chinese (zh-CN) and English support.
