Wallfacer - Terminal session manager for AI coding agents
Show HN: Wallfacer – A terminal session manager for Claude Code, and more
Wallfacer is a terminal session manager for AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Kiro CLI, and Codex. It indexes all your AI coding sessions into a single searchable database, allowing you to name, tag, group, search, resume, or delete them from a full-screen browser or the command line. It reads session files read-only and stores your metadata locally, ensuring your conversations remain untouched. With support for multiple agents and a pluggable adapter system, Wallfacer brings order to the chaos of scattered AI chat transcripts.
See every AI coding session you've ever started, then name, tag, group, search, resume, or delete them, from a full-screen browser or straight from the command line.

Related: several months ago I made a TUI session search/manager tool as part of my suite of Claude/codex productivity tools:
https://pchalasani.github.io/claude-code-tools/tools/aichat/...
There’s Rust/Tantivy-based search and a whole host of utilities to view, resume, trim (to clean up context when close to limit), port to Claude/codex, move accounts, etc.
The search has a json mode for agents, and a corresponding skill so you can just ask Claude/codex to search for the “latest session where I worked on xyz”.

The name is pretty ominous if you've read the Three Body Problem series. I don't want my agents planning against me in secrecy.
Just out of curiosity, why did you pick that name? Is there anything wallfacey about this project I'm not getting?

I work in a massive monorepo with a bunch of different services. Over the last month, I realized I was starting Claude Code sessions everywhere. I would hit a weird issue, remember I had already solved it with the agent a few days ago, and then realize I had no way to easily find that specific session.
CC stores these as JSON files, keyed by the directory you happened to be in at the time.
I built Wallfacer because I needed a way to search and resume these sessions without messing with the source of truth. It operates as a strictly read only overlay. It just reads the local files, extracts the working directory and first prompt, and lets you manage the metadata in a local SQLite database.
