history
Project history and usage
Claude DevTools is an open-source visual inspection and analysis application for Claude Code sessions. It reads existing local session logs rather than wrapping or modifying Claude Code.
Project history
Matt developed Claude DevTools as an open-source visual inspector for Claude Code execution data. The project evolved beyond its Electron desktop application to support standalone Node.js and Docker deployment.
By the 0.5.0 release, the project included session, tool-call, token, subagent, context-window, and memory inspection, with release history maintained through a project changelog.
Adoption history
Distributed as a signed desktop application for macOS, Linux, and Windows, as well as a standalone Node.js or Docker service. Its Homebrew cask gives macOS users a conventional package-manager installation path.
How it is used
Users open existing Claude Code sessions to inspect execution flow, tool calls, token consumption, subagents, context-window state, and related session data.
Desktop users install a native release; self-hosters can run the standalone server with Node.js or Docker and point `CLAUDE_ROOT` at the Claude data directory.
Why package nerds care
It makes Claude Code's normally file-oriented session artifacts inspectable through a dedicated visual interface while leaving the underlying agent untouched. Support for Homebrew, native release artifacts, Docker, and a standalone server makes it notable as both a desktop utility and a self-hostable developer tool.
Timeline
