THE SIDEBAR:

Eight surfaces. One sidebar.

Everything Claude Code keeps in ~/.claude/ — organized, searchable, clickable.

Sessions

Browse, search, and resume every past Claude Code session by project and git branch. Active sessions pin to the top with live status dots. Pin, rename, fork, import, export, or restore a whole workspace of terminals at once.

  • Full-text transcript search
  • Resume routes back to terminal or extension chat
  • Works with the CLI and the official extension

Account & Usage

Switch between Claude accounts without a full logout and login. Activity heatmap, token usage across 7-day, 30-day, and all-time, and opt-in quota bars showing your real 5-hour and 7-day subscription windows.

  • Multi-account profile switcher
  • Per-model, per-project, per-tool breakdowns
  • Opt-in quota card, refreshed only on click

MCP Servers

Enable, disable, delete, or inspect MCP servers with no JSON editing. API keys and secrets are masked automatically, and an auth-health banner surfaces connectors that need re-auth.

  • No hand-editing config files
  • Secrets masked automatically
  • Auth-health banner for stale connectors

Skills

Global, project, and plugin-shipped skills, each tagged with a scope badge. Copy, open, delete, or launch Claude with a skill in one click — in a terminal or the extension chat.

  • Scope badges: global / project / plugin
  • One-click launch into Claude Code
  • Browse community skills inline

Hooks

Inspect, toggle, edit, or remove automation hooks across global, project, and local scopes — with the full command shown before it runs.

  • Full command preview before it fires
  • Toggle without editing settings JSON
  • Global, project, and local scopes

  • One-click copy or launch
  • Plugin commands included

Agents

Browse project and plugin agents with Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku model badges and description previews — so you know what each agent is before you reach for it.

  • Sonnet / Opus / Haiku badges
  • Description previews
  • Project and plugin agents

Config

Tune Claude Code without hunting through settings files. Pick the model, set tool-use confirmation and reasoning effort, edit per-scope permissions, and roll back with settings-history snapshots.

  • Model, reasoning effort, and attribution
  • Per-scope allow / deny permissions editor
  • Settings snapshots with one-click restore

LOCAL-FIRST:

It reads your machine. It tells no one.

Zero telemetry

No analytics, no accounts, no background traffic. The extension reads ~/.claude/ and renders in a VS Code webview. Nothing is collected.

One opt-in call

The only network request is the Quota card, and only when you click Refresh — a single read of your own usage with your own token.

Open source

Apache 2.0, public on GitHub. Read every line, fork it, file an issue. The privacy claim is auditable, not a promise.

The terminal was never built for browsing.

Without

  • Scroll terminal history to find last week's session
  • Hand-patch JSON to add or disable an MCP server
  • /logout then /login to switch accounts
  • No idea what this month's tokens cost

With

  • Search by project and branch, click Resume
  • Toggle MCP servers with one click, secrets masked
  • Swap saved account profiles instantly
  • Usage by model, project, and tool

FAQ:

Questions, answered.

Does Claude Manager send anything to the network?

No. It is local-first by default — zero telemetry, zero accounts, no background traffic. The one opt-in exception is the Account tab's Quota card, which fetches your subscription usage with your own token only when you click Refresh.

Does it work with Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium?

Yes. It is a standard VS Code extension. Install from the Marketplace on VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity, or from Open VSX on VSCodium, Theia, and Gitpod.

Can I switch between Claude accounts without logging out?

Yes. The Account tab includes a multi-account profile switcher that saves and swaps Claude logins without a full logout and login cycle.

Do I need Claude Code installed?

Yes — install Claude Code first. Either the CLI, the official VS Code extension, or both works. Claude Manager reads the shared ~/.claude/ directory, so sessions from either surface show up together.

Where does my data live?

In ~/.claude/ — the same place Claude Code itself uses. The extension never copies, uploads, or duplicates your sessions.

One sidebar. Everything Claude.
