Single-file HTML replays for Claude Code and Cursor sessions, no hosting needed.

Strengths

•Self-contained HTML output means you can email or embed sessions without hosting.
•Local editor allows redacting secrets and excluding turns before generating the file.
•Auto-detects and parses transcripts from Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex CLI.

Weaknesses

•Limited to users of specific AI CLI tools like Claude Code or Cursor.
•Static HTML output means no server-side collaboration or comment threads.

Post Description

A few weeks ago, I posted a CLI version of this — thanks for the great feedback, it's been going well (500+ stars).

I originally built it for demos. But people have been using it for knowledge sharing, teaching, documentation, and even debugging sandboxed agent workflows in the cloud. Pretty cool to learn about these use cases.

Since then: Cursor and Codex CLI support, Docker, --watch live mode, custom redaction, and two new ways to use it:

- Web UI, drag and drop a session file, no install needed: https://es617.dev/claude-replay/

- Local editor, run claude-replay to launch a full editor in your browser: browse sessions, edit prompts, exclude turns, add bookmarks, live preview

The output is still a single self-contained HTML file — step through prompts, tool calls, and reasoning. Zero dependencies, works on mobile, embeddable via iframe.
