From the README

πŸš€ Claude Config Editor

⚑ The missing GUI for Claude configurations ⚑

  Your Claude config is probably 10+ MB.
  Mine was 17 MB. Now it's 732 KB.
  This tool did it in 30 seconds.

πŸ”₯ The Problem

Claude Code stores EVERY conversation from EVERY project in a single JSON file.

After a few weeks of use:
- πŸ“ 87 projects with full chat histories
- πŸ’Ύ 17 MB of JSON (yes, really)
- 🐌 Slow startup times (Claude has to parse that mess)
- 🀷 No easy way to clean it up (manual JSON editing? no thanks)

Sound familiar?

βœ… The Solution

A beautiful web interface to:
- πŸ” See what's eating your disk (sorted by size)
- πŸ—‘οΈ Delete old projects in bulk (top 10 biggest = 90% of bloat)
- πŸ’Ύ Export before deleting (keep important conversations)
- πŸ”Œ Manage MCP servers (no more JSON editing)
- πŸ›‘οΈ Auto-backup everything (undo button for real life)

Works with both Claude Code AND Claude Desktop.
