Code Déjà Vu is a local desktop tool developed by publisher jnchen for unified browsing and management of sessions, instructions, and configuration data left on the local machine by AI coding assistants. Specifically, the application consolidates data produced by Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode, allowing users to view and organize records from these tools in a single interface rather than inspecting each source separately. It belongs to the developer tools category, with a focus on AI-assisted coding workflows and local data management. The software is built on Tauri, SvelteKit, and Rust, combining a web-based frontend with a native desktop runtime. The current version is 0.4.0, and the project has published two versions in total, indicating an early-stage release history with ongoing development. Typical use cases include reviewing past coding-assistant sessions for reference or reuse, searching across accumulated session history, auditing instructions and prompts left by different tools, and managing the configuration files these assistants store locally. A defining characteristic of Code Déjà Vu is its local-first design: session parsing, search indexing, and configuration management are all performed on the user's own machine. According to the publisher's description, the application does not upload session content to any service operated by the project maintainers, which makes it suitable for users who want to keep potentially sensitive coding sessions private. The only external access described occurs when the user manually checks for updates, at which point the application contacts the GitHub Release update address to determine whether a newer build is available. This design separates routine operation, which remains fully offline with respect to remote services, from the optional update-checking step. Overall, Code Déjà Vu addresses the growing need among developers who rely on multiple AI coding assistants and want a single, privacy-conscious desktop application to inspect, search, and manage the artifacts those tools leave behind.
