01 Sound familiar?
Five ways a second account costs you a day.
Every one of them has a fix. Scroll through them.
The pain02 / 05
You open the project folder, start a new session, and explain everything again.
The fix
Not a new chat. The same chat. re-registers the original session, so Claude continues mid-thought.
The pain03 / 05
The summary you paste loses the decisions you made at message 40.
The fix
Nothing is summarized. The full transcript is already on your Mac. just makes the sidebar see it.
The pain04 / 05
You keep a text file of session IDs and --resume them in a terminal.
The fix
One screen, checkboxes, a time range. 7, 14, 30 days. Click once.
The pain05 / 05
You’re afraid to touch Claude’s files.
The fix
never overwrites, never deletes. Every import is backed up and undone with one click.
02 The truth
Your sessions were never gone. Only the sidebar forgot them.
Claude Code keeps every transcript on your Mac, account-agnostic. The desktop app only shows the sessions registered to the account you’re signed in to. writes the missing registrations. That’s all it does, and it’s enough.
03 How it works
Three clicks. Thirty seconds.

Pick
Choose a time range: 7, 14, 30, 90 days, or all. Untick what you don’t need. Scheduled reminders stay out by default.
