Work Never lose a Claude Code session again
Every project, every conversation, every tool call — searchable and resumable from your Mac. No API keys, no network.
Download for macOSEverything in your ~/.claude, surfaced.
Zero setup
Your projects appear automatically. Every directory you've run Claude in, sorted by recent activity. Nothing to configure.
The complete picture
See the full conversation — text, rendered markdown, code blocks, tool calls, and results. Not just the summary.
One click to resume
Pick up any session in Terminal. If it's already running, Work finds that exact tab and brings it to the front.
Search by meaning
Find that conversation where you fixed the auth bug — even if you don't remember the exact words. On-device, fully offline.
Hand off to a teammate
Generate a context brief with one click. Your teammate pastes it into their LLM and picks up where you stopped.
See what's connected
Every plugin, skill, MCP server, and hook across all your projects. Live status so you know what's running.
No API keys. No network. No setup.
Claude writes
Every Claude Code session logs messages to ~/.claude/ on your Mac.
Work reads
The app watches those files in real time and surfaces your projects and sessions.
You pick up
Browse, search, read, or resume any session with a single click.
Your sessions are waiting.
Free. Offline. Built for developers who live in the terminal.
Download for macOSWhat is Work?
If you use Claude Code, you already have a complete history of every session sitting in ~/.claude/ on your Mac. Work reads those files and gives you a visual interface to browse projects, read full conversations, and resume sessions in Terminal. No API keys, no network, no setup.
Work includes on-device semantic search powered by Apple's NLEmbedding framework, session handoff generation using Claude Code's print mode, and real-time monitoring of plugins, skills, MCP servers, and hooks. It supports macOS 15 and later on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Work access my Claude Code sessions?
Work reads the local JSONL log files that Claude Code writes to ~/.claude/projects/ on your Mac. It does not make any network requests, use any API keys, or send data anywhere. All processing happens on your device.
Does Work require a Claude API key or subscription?
No. Work is a read-only viewer of files already on your Mac. It does not call the Claude API. You need Claude Code installed and to have run at least one session for Work to have anything to display.
How does semantic search work offline?
Work uses Apple's NLEmbedding framework, which runs sentence-level embeddings entirely on-device. When you open a conversation, messages are embedded into 512-dimensional vectors and searched using cosine similarity via the Accelerate framework. Embeddings are cached to disk so subsequent opens are instant.
What is session handoff?
Session handoff generates a structured summary of a conversation using Claude Code's print mode, including files changed, key decisions, and current state. The summary is copied to your clipboard so a teammate can paste it into their own LLM and continue the work with full context.
Is Work free?
Yes. Work is free to download and use. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or usage limits.
