TUI session picker for Claude Code --resume

claude-resume

A TUI session picker for Claude Code --resume.

Browse, search, and resume previous Claude Code sessions from any project — without remembering session IDs.

Features

• Session discovery — Scans ~/.claude/projects/ for all sessions across every project
• Real-time search — Filter by project name, first prompt, or git branch
• Project scoping — Toggle between current project and all projects (Ctrl+T)
• Sort modes — Cycle through Modified / Messages / Project (Ctrl+S)
• Session detail — View full metadata with Space
• Delete sessions — Remove old sessions with d
• Auto cd — Automatically changes to the session's project directory before resuming
• Fast cache — Fingerprint-based cache for instant startup after first load
• CLI passthrough — Extra arguments are forwarded to claude

Usage

claude-resume

CLI Options

claude-resume [OPTIONS] [-- CLAUDE_ARGS...]

Options:
  -g, --global      Start in global (all projects) mode
  -l, --local       Start in local (current project) mode
  --no-cache        Force reload sessions without cache

Examples:
  claude-resume                     # Pick a session to resume
  claude-resume -g                  # Show all projects by default
  claude-resume --no-cache          # Ignore cache, rescan sessions
  claude-resume -- --verbose        # Pass --verbose to claude

Key Bindings

Key	Action
Enter	Resume selected session
Space	Show session detail
/	Focus search input
Escape	Clear search
Ctrl+T	Toggle scope (current project / all)
Ctrl+S	Cycle sort (Modified / Messages / Project)
d	Delete session (with confirmation)
q	Quit

How It Works

1. Scans ~/.claude/projects/*/sessions-index.json for indexed sessions
2. Falls back to parsing .jsonl transcript files (reads first 50 lines + last line for efficiency)
3. Filters out sidechains and sessions without user messages
4. On selection, cds to the session's project directory and execs claude --resume <id>

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Claude Code installed
• Textual (installed automatically)
