AgentsView launches local-first AI coding session search and analytics

AgentsView has just rolled out a local-first desktop and web app for browsing and analyzing AI coding sessions across tools like Claude, Codex, Copilot, and Gemini. It indexes JSONL histories into SQLite for fast search, summaries, and token-cost reports, with optional PostgreSQL sync.

TL;DR

  • Local-first desktop and web app: Browse, search, analyze past AI coding sessions across multiple projects
  • Offline-by-default storage: SQLite + embedded web frontend; optional PostgreSQL sync for teams or multi-machine setups
  • Core features: Session browsing, full-text search, activity analytics, AI-generated summaries/analyses via Claude, Codex, Copilot, Gemini
  • Live sync + imports: Real-time directory watching; import Claude.ai and ChatGPT conversations, including images
  • Token reporting: agentsview usage cost/token reports from pre-indexed SQLite; supports Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Gemini, Hermes
  • Architecture + discovery: Watches directories, parses JSONL, serves REST API with SSE; auto-discovers sessions for 27 agents (e.g., Cursor, OpenHands)

AgentsView, a local-first desktop and web app for browsing, searching and analyzing past AI coding sessions, presents itself as a tool for reviewing what agent tools did across multiple projects. The project’s website also links to GitHub and points to downloadable desktop builds for macOS, Windows and Linux.

The product is described as staying on the local machine by default, using SQLite and an embedded web frontend rather than cloud services or accounts. The site also notes an optional PostgreSQL sync path for team or multi-machine setups.

Among the features listed on the homepage are session browsing, full-text search, activity analytics, and AI-generated summaries and analyses using Claude, Codex, Copilot or Gemini. The site also mentions live sync for watching session directories in real time, plus support for importing Claude.ai and ChatGPT conversations, including images.

A separate section highlights agentsview usage for token usage and cost reports. According to the project page, it reads from the same pre-indexed SQLite database as the rest of AgentsView and currently covers Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Gemini and Hermes sessions, with the claim that reports return in well under a second even on large histories. The page also compares it with ccusage, saying agentsview usage daily runs "80–220× faster" on a 22,000-session local database.

The site says AgentsView can auto-discover session directories for 27 AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini and OpenHands. It also lists a number of other supported tools by name, including Amp, Warp, Kiro, and Forge.

Under the hood, the project states that it watches agent session directories, parses JSONL files, stores structured data in SQLite with full-text search indexes, and serves browsing, search and analytics through a REST API. The homepage diagram also shows SSE events and an embedded Svelte SPA in the stack.
