Deja Vu

Deja Vu provides searchable session history from thirty-five coding agents stored locally on disk.

Deja Vu indexes previous session history from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and thirty-two other coding tools already stored on your disk. It requires no LLM, embeddings, or server, operating entirely through a single Go binary on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The tool indexes actual work including file edits, command outputs, and code spans, rather than just chat transcripts. It strips credentials and sensitive tokens automatically during indexing while keeping the text searchable. Users can search past solutions, sync history across machines via SSH, and integrate recall directly into their development workflow.
