Claude Chronicle (clog)

Claude Chronicle (clog) is a terminal dashboard for navigating, searching, and monitoring Claude Code activity on your machine.

clog reads the JSONL files Claude Code writes to ~/.claude/projects/ and presents them in a multi-pane TUI: projects, sessions, watchlist, and a full conversation log with live tailing. Memory and hooks introspection are a hotkey away.
