Claude Code Manager
(formerly Claude Manager)

Every Claude Code session, file checkpoint, prompt, skill, slash command, hook, MCP server, agent, and plugin, one click away in your VS Code sidebar. Works with both the Claude Code CLI and the official VS Code extension.

Local-first • Zero telemetry • Zero accounts • Docks to either sidebar • Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Kiro, Antigravity, VSCodium, Codespaces, and Gitpod

Install

VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity: open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X), search Claude Code Manager, click Install.

VSCodium, Theia, Gitpod: install from Open VSX.

Command line: code --install-extension vishalguptax.claude-manager

Claude Code Manager turns all of it into a sidebar you can click and search. Same Claude Code underneath, just one keystroke closer. It works whether you run the Claude Code CLI, the official VS Code extension, or both. Sessions from either show…
