claude-conversation-extractor

Claude Conversation Extractor is the only tool that exports Claude Code conversations stored in ~/.claude/projects as JSONL files. It provides two interfaces—an interactive UI with real-time search (claude-start) and a command-line interface (claude-extract)—to extract, search, and backup your chat history in Markdown, JSON, or HTML formats. The tool runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux with zero external dependencies, automatically locating your Claude Code logs and converting them to readable archives. Use it to search through past conversations, backup sessions before deletion, or export detailed transcripts including tool use and MCP responses for documentation or knowledge sharing.
