After using Simon Willison’s excellent llm CLI tool for a while, I found myself wanting a better way to browse through my conversation history. Terminal output is great for quick interactions, but finding anything again or reviewing it can be challenging.

That’s why I built llm-web-ui - a simple browser interface for your LLM conversations.

What is llm-web-ui?

It’s a read-only web interface that gives you access to your llm logs database in a variety of ways. It’s open-source and contributions are welcome!

Launch it with a single command:

npx llm-web-ui "$(llm logs path)"

Key Features

• Conversation History: all past conversations in a clean interface
• Responses Stream: all LLM interactions including token counts & cost

I’m planning to add usage stats as well. Once tagging is added to llm I’d like to add some filtering abilities as well.

Why I Built This

While using llm, I found myself missing some observability features:

1. Tracking which models I use most frequently
2. Finding previous solutions to similar problems
3. Analyzing my token efficiency

Rather than requesting these features be added to the core llm tool, I built a complementary tool that addresses these specific needs.

Getting Started

# Using npx (no installation required)
npx llm-web-ui "$(llm logs path)"

# Or install globally
npm install -g llm-web-ui
llm-web-ui "$(llm logs path)"

The web interface will open automatically in your default browser.

If you find llm-web-ui useful, check out the GitHub repository and consider giving it a star to help others discover it!
