Sessions not synced across Claude Code surfaces (CLI, desktop app, web)
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 16, 2026 by liquidcaves Closed Jun 14, 2026
Summary
Sessions started in one Claude Code surface (e.g. the web app at claude.ai/code, or the CLI) do not appear in the Mac desktop app's conversation history, and vice versa. Each surface maintains a completely separate session list.
Expected behaviour
A session started in any Claude Code surface should be visible and continuable from any other surface when signed in to the same account.
Actual behaviour
Sessions are siloed per surface — CLI sessions don't appear in the desktop app, desktop app sessions don't appear in the web app, etc.
Impact
Users lose continuity when switching between surfaces mid-session (e.g. starting work in the web app and wanting to continue in the desktop app).
Environment
- Mac desktop app
- CLI (
claude) - Web app (claude.ai/code)
