Target Audience

Claude Code users on macOS

Post Description

Claude Code displays pasted images as [Image #1], [Image #2], etc. — but there's no way to see what those images actually are once they're in the conversation.

cc-preview is a small macOS tool (Go CLI + Hammerspoon) that reads Claude Code's JSONL transcripts, extracts the base64-encoded images, and shows them in a keyboard-driven native UI. Numbers match Claude's [Image #N] exactly.

Install: brew install Watari995/tap/cc-preview
