I got tired of it and built <strong>Claude Terminal Hub</strong>.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <p>It's a Windows desktop app, built with Electron, that lists your recent Claude Code sessions from every project on the machine in a single screen. It reads the <code>.jsonl</code> files Claude Code writes to <code>~/.claude/projects</code>, zero configuration needed. Each session shows an AI-generated title and the last prompt sent, sorted by recent activity.</p> <p>One click on a session opens a terminal panel in the right folder, already running <code>claude --resume</code>. You can keep up to 4 panels open side by side, each one a real PowerShell process via <code>node-pty</code>, not a fake console. Arrow keys, <code>vim</code>, the Claude Code TUI itself, all work normally inside the panel.</p> <h2> Under the hood </h2> <ul> <li>Main process (Node) reads only the first and last KB of each <code>.jsonl</code> file, not the full transcript, to list sessions fast even with a large session history.</li> <li>A narrow <code>contextBridge</code> between main and renderer, no broad IPC surface.</li> <li>React frontend, one <code>xterm.js</code> instance per terminal panel.</li> <li>Each panel spawns a real PowerShell process through <code>node-pty</code>, so shell state, arrow keys, and TUIs behave like a native terminal.</li> </ul> <h2> Getting it </h2> <p>Windows installer ready (NSIS), no admin rights required.
