Problem Statement

Currently, session history files are stored locally under ~/.claude/projects/, but there's no way to browse or reopen past sessions from the desktop app UI.

Proposed Solution

  • A session history panel in the desktop app showing past conversations (date, project path, first message as preview)
  • Ability to click to resume a historical session

Current workaround:

  • Use /resume <session-id> in the CLI, which is not available in the desktop app
