Dev open-sources bough, a local tool that visualizes your Claude Code session history
VoidEqualZero · reddit · 2026-09-06
A developer who spent three weeks in one repo realized they couldn't name five things they'd built, so they wrote bough: a Go binary that reads the l session files Claude Code leaves in /.claude/projects and draws them — squares for days, smaller squares for tasks, a circle per prompt, with hover/click to drill into the original text.
- Running it on their own history revealed a forgotten Tuesday held most of the real work, while two days remembered as productive were spent circling one file
- Runs fully locally, sends nothing anywhere; open-sourced at github.com/nickelsec/bough
The open question: bough infers task boundaries from pauses in the record, validated only on one person's history — the author asks others to test whether the splits match their weeks.
