What's Wrong?

In the Claude Code desktop app (macOS), the Code tab sidebar previously grouped sessions by project. After a recent update, all sessions are now shown as a flat list under "Recents" with no project grouping.

The Cowork tab still retains project-based grouping, but the Code tab does not.

What Should Happen?

Sessions in the Code tab sidebar should be grouped by project, as they were previously. This makes it easy to find sessions when working across multiple repos.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code desktop app on macOS
  2. Navigate to the Code tab
  3. Observe the sidebar — all sessions appear as a flat list under "Recents" with no project grouping

Note: The Cowork tab still has project-based grouping. This regression makes it difficult to find sessions when working across multiple repos.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by identifying and reverting the recent update that caused the change in session grouping behavior in the Code tab.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog or release notes for version 2.1.123 to understand the changes made to the Code tab and session grouping.
  • Compare the code or configuration differences between the Code tab and the Cowork tab to identify why project-based grouping is still working in the Cowork tab.
  • Investigate if there are any settings or options in the Claude Code app that could be used to restore the previous grouping behavior.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or checking the GitHub issues page for any discussions or fixes related to this regression.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear without more information about the recent update or changes made to the Code tab. The fact that the Cowork tab still has project-based grouping suggests that the issue might be specific to the Code tab implementation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the previous version of the app had the desired behavior, and without a clear indication of how to fix the current version, using a workaround such as manually organizing sessions or waiting for a future update that addresses this regression might be the best course of action.
