CC Buddy is a cross-platform desktop app for managing and reviewing local Coding Agent CLI sessions. It does not run the agent for you; it turns histories already written by your CLIs into readable, searchable timelines. After a task finishes, you can trace its goal, decisions, tool calls, subagents, changes, failures, and final outcome. An optional local gateway is included for model API conversion.
CLI session histories ──▶ CC Buddy ──▶ browse · search · trace · export · review
Reads local histories from Claude Code, Codex CLI, Qoder CLI, Grok Build CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Antigravity CLI.
- Reconstruct the run — render Markdown, thinking, tool calls and results, patches, images, recorded model/token metadata, and main/subagent threads.
- Find the moment — auto-discover histories, group by source and project, and search across sessions or inside one conversation.
- Manage the archive — rename, tag, filter, recycle, add custom history roots, follow active sessions, and import compatible JSONL/ZIP transcripts.
- Continue the review — export raw session files/bundles (JSONL, ZIP, or DB) or portable HTML; on macOS, open the main and subagent transcripts in Claude or ChatGPT for analysis.
As a companion feature, the gateway accepts Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Chat Completions, and OpenAI Responses on both client and provider sides, passing through matching protocols or translating between them. It configures Claude Code and Codex with one click; other compatible clients can use the local endpoint manually. Preset, custom, and plugin-backed providers support switching and model mapping.
The gateway binds to 127.0.0.1; inference requests still go to the provider you select.
