Installation notes
Upgrading from v1.x? v2 is a full rebuild on Tauri, so the old Electron updater can't cross over — download v2 manually this one time. Your data is safe: Sessionly reads sessions directly from ~/.claude, so nothing is lost. Auto-updates resume from v2 onward.
Windows: click "More info" then "Run anyway" to bypass SmartScreen.
Sessionly is open source. Review the code on GitHub.
Frequently asked questions
What is Sessionly?+
Sessionly is a free, open-source desktop app that reads your Claude Code CLI session history from ~/.claude and presents it in a rich, browsable interface — plus a live dashboard and notifications so you always know what your sessions are doing.
Does Sessionly send my data anywhere?+
No. Sessionly reads your session files locally and has no internal database, no cloud sync, and no account. Your conversations never leave your machine.
Which platforms are supported?+
Native builds are available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux (.AppImage, .deb, and .rpm).
I was on v1.x — how do I upgrade to v2?+
Because v2 is rebuilt on Tauri, the old Electron auto-updater cannot cross over. Download v2 manually this one time. Your data is untouched since Sessionly reads directly from ~/.claude, and auto-updates work seamlessly from v2 onward.
How do notifications work?+
Sessionly sends native desktop notifications when a session completes or errors. You control which events notify you, and a smart cooldown prevents duplicate or spammy alerts. Optional Claude Code hooks make the signals even more precise.
Is Sessionly free?+
Yes — Sessionly is completely free and open source under its repository license. You can review, build, and contribute on GitHub.
