Total Recall: Local Knowledge Graph for Claude Code Conversation History
What Total Recall Does
Total Recall solves the problem of re-explaining decisions across Claude Code sessions by making conversation history searchable. Claude Code stores conversations as JSONL files in ~/.claude/projects/, with each line containing a message object (role, content, timestamps, ID, parentUuid). These parent references form a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) because conversations branch with tool calls and interruptions.
Technical Implementation
The system ingests JSONL transcripts into a SQLite database with:
- Full-text search
- Vector embeddings using local Ollama (no cloud) with nomic-embed-text
- Semantic cross-linking
- DAG-aware retrieval that walks parent chains backward from search hits
- Project-based session tagging
When you ask a question like "What was that restaurant with the great chile rellenos?", Claude queries the database and returns actual conversation excerpts with surrounding context, not summaries.
Additional Features
- A "where were we" script shows the last 20 messages from the most recent session
- ChatGPT importer that authenticates via Playwright and calls the backend API to pull full conversation trees with timestamps, model metadata, DALL-E images, and code interpreter outputs
- Auto-ingests every 15 minutes
- Everything is local - one file you can copy to another machine
Current Deployment
The creator's deployment handles:
- 28K chunks
- 63K semantic links
- 255 MB storage
- 49 sessions across 6 projects
Open Source Availability
