Session Search: Local Full-Text Search for Claude Code and Codex Sessions, Now in Your Menu Bar
Ad

Session Search is an open-source macOS menu bar tool that indexes local Claude Code and Codex session transcripts for full-text search. Unlike the built-in session resume search (which only indexes the first prompt, project name, etc.), Session Search indexes the entire transcript — including errors, commands, filenames, and intermediate decisions — so you can quickly jump back to the relevant session.

Key Features

  • Deeper indexing: Scans local Claude Code and Codex session files beyond just the first prompt or project name.
  • Full-text search via SQLite FTS: Uses SQLite's full-text search engine for fast queries across all transcripts.
  • Highlighted snippets: Search results show matching lines with context.
  • One-click menu bar access: The tool lives in the macOS menu bar for instant access.
  • Local only: No hosted backend; all data stays on your machine.

Usage

Once installed from the GitHub repo, the app runs as a menu bar icon. Click it to open the search field, type a query (e.g., an error message, a command you ran, or a filename), and results appear as selectable snippets. Selecting a result opens the corresponding session transcript in your default editor.

Who It's For

Developers who frequently switch between multiple Claude Code or Codex sessions and need to quickly locate past work without scrolling through individual logs.
