Show timestamps on chat messages
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Mar 30, 2026 by jasonnickel Closed May 22, 2026
Add a small timestamp (HH:MM) next to each message in the chat timeline -- both user and assistant messages. This helps users:
- See how long ago Claude responded
- Know how long a message has been sitting on screen waiting for attention
- Track session pacing without external tools
A simple hour:minute display next to each message bubble would be sufficient. Optional day display for long sessions.
This would be useful across all interfaces (CLI, VS Code extension, desktop app).
