Find any conversation you ever had with an AI coding agent. One native macOS window lists every Claude Code, Codex, Grok and OpenCode session on your Mac — with the first message, project folder, size and date — and can import terminal sessions into the Claude and Codex desktop apps so you can continue them there.
Lets you view all the sessions of your terminal and desktop agents.
One window lists every conversation you had with Claude Code, Codex, Grok and OpenCode on this Mac: the first message, the folder, where it was started, the size and the date. Click a title to read how the conversation began. For Claude and Codex it can also put a terminal session into the history of the desktop app, so you can continue it there. One of the apps of GOBL(in).
- Four sources: Claude and Codex with import, Grok and OpenCode for viewing only.
- Filter by project, with the number of sessions in each one.
- For every session: the first message, the folder, where it was started (terminal, desktop app, SDK), the size, the date and the status.
- Click a session's title to see its first ten exchanges.
- Click a column header to sort the table.
- Automated runs (sessions started by scripts and other agents, subagents) are hidden by default; the "Automated runs" checkbox shows them.
- Sessions that are already in the desktop app are marked and can't be imported twice.
- The list loads 50 sessions at a time.
| Source | Where sessions are found | What import writes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | ~/.claude/projects/<project>/*.jsonl |
a small local_<id>.json card in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude-code-sessions/… |
| Codex | ~/.codex/sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl |
a row in the threads table of ~/.codex/state_5.sqlite |
| Grok | ~/.grok/sessions/<project>/<id>/ |
nothing: view only |
| OpenCode | ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db |
nothing: view only |
Viewing only reads these files. Import does not copy or change the conversation itself: it adds a record that tells the desktop app "this session exists, and here it is". After the import, quit the desktop app (⌘Q) and open it again: the session appears in its history.
Paste this into Terminal:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goblin-red/Session-Viewer/main/install.sh | bashThe script downloads the ready-made build from Releases,
puts it into /Applications and opens it. The build is universal: it runs on Apple Silicon and on Intel Macs,
and no Xcode tools are needed. To update, run the same command again.
Downloaded the zip by hand? The app is not notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks a downloaded copy. Unblock it once:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/path/to/GOBL(in) Session Viewer.app"The app reads the session files of the agents, and import writes to the internal storage of the Claude desktop app and of Codex. These formats are not documented and may change with any update, so a source or the import may stop working. It is a personal tool, use it at your own risk.
- macOS 10.15 or newer
- At least one of the agents: Claude Code, Codex, Grok, OpenCode
Needs Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install).

Where does Claude Code store its sessions?
In ~/.claude/projects/<project>/*.jsonl, one file per conversation. Session Viewer reads them (read-only) and shows them as a sortable, filterable list.
How do I continue a Claude Code terminal session in the Claude desktop app? Select the session and press Import: the app adds a small card that tells the desktop app the session exists. Restart the desktop app and the conversation appears in its history.
Where is the Codex CLI history?
In ~/.codex/sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl. Session Viewer lists those sessions too and can add them to the Codex desktop app.
