What it does

Poirot is a SwiftUI desktop app that reads the transcripts Claude Code stores on your machine and shows them as a browsable history. Sessions are grouped by project, with a full conversation timeline, rendered markdown, syntax-highlighted diffs, collapsible tool blocks and thinking blocks, and you can click a shell command to copy it or open it in your terminal. Beyond history, it includes a dashboard of token use, cost breakdowns and model distribution, plus gauges for subscription rate limits in the dashboard and menu bar. Other screens cover slash commands, skills, MCP servers, sub-agents, plugins, hooks, plans, memory files, prompt history and debug logs, with fuzzy search across all of them. The README says it needs no login, has no tracking or analytics, adds no extra cost, and works offline. It requires macOS 15 or later, can be installed with Homebrew, and sessions can be exported as Markdown or PDF. The project is MIT licensed.
