What it does

Not another Claude Code GUI wrapper. claude-devtools doesn't run or modify Claude Code — it reads the raw session logs already on your machine and reconstructs everything the CLI hides. Every file path Read, every tool called, every diff Applied, every token consumed — structured into a visual timeline with per-turn context attribution, compaction visualization, subagent execution trees, and custom notification triggers. Works with every session you've ever run. Open source, runs locally.

The debugging tool for Claude Code. Read session transcripts, inspect tool calls, track token usage, and see everything Claude Code hid from your terminal — directly from the session logs on your machine.

See everything it did — every file path, tool call, and token — from the session logs already on your machine. Since v2.1.20 , detailed output was replaced with opaque summaries. The community backlash was immediate. The terminal hides it — claude-devtools puts it back. Six categories of detail Claude Code stopped showing. All of it is still in ~/.claude/ — just not on your screen. The reasoning Claude does before each action. The reasoning the terminal hides — and where most of the surprising decisions actually live. What filled it — CLAUDE.md, @-mentions, skills, tool output. All invisible in the terminal. The only built-in option is --verbose , which dumps thousands of lines of raw JSON…from claude-dev.tools

  • I built a tool to un-dumb Claude Code's CLI output (Local Log Viewer)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲69

    Hi HN, I built this because I got tired of the Claude Code CLI hiding details from me. Recent updates have replaced critical output with summaries like "Read 3 files" or "Edited 2 files". To see what actually happened, I was forced to use `--verbose`, which floods the terminal with unreadable JSON and system prompts. I wanted a middle ground: *Full observability without the noise.* `claude-devtools` is a local Electron app that tails the session logs in `~/.claude/` to reconstruct the execution trace in real-time. *Unlike wrappers, it solves the visibility gap in your native…

    Hi HN, We use Claude Code a lot, and after a long session there isn't a simple way to share exactly what happened with someone else. Prompts, responses, file edits, and tool calls all stay inside the terminal. We built Claudebin to make that easier. It's a plugin that lets you export the current session as a URL containing: - the full message thread - file reads and writes - bash commands - web and MCP calls You can send the link to someone, attach it to a PR, embed part of it, or resume the session locally. It's open source. GitHub:…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
