Qwen Code session history in a macOS app — but I can only verify it against 0.14.3, and my free tier is gone
I maintain Agent Sessions, a macOS app that reads the local session history your coding agents leave on disk — search across every transcript, browse the tool calls and reasoning, resume a session in the CLI it came from. Free, open source, reads files already on your Mac, uploads nothing. It's at 796 stars and covers thirteen agents: Codex, Claude Code, Cursor Agent, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Pi, Kimi Code, Grok CLI, OpenClaw, Hermes, Droid, and — as of last week's 5.0 — Qwen Code.

Qwen is the one I have a problem with.
The support is real: Qwen chats show up in browsing, search, Analytics and the transcript view, with reasoning and tool calls reconstructed along the active parent chain, so rewound branches render the way they actually happened. Active chats resume in the CLI. I built it against real transcripts and it works.
Against 0.14.3 transcripts. The CLI I have installed is 0.21.13, and the Qwen OAuth free tier was discontinued on 2026-04-15 — so I can't generate a single new transcript on this machine without buying a plan for a model I don't otherwise use. Every Qwen build since April is, honestly, unverified. If the journal format moved between 0.14 and 0.21, I'd have no way of knowing until someone's sessions rendered wrong.
I gather from the free-tier threads here that a few of you are stuck at the same wall from the other side.
So that's the ask. I'm looking for one person who runs Qwen Code with a working account to be its steward.
The job is small and I've tried hard to keep it that way:
./scripts/steward_check.py qwen
It compares your own sessions against the recorded format baseline and tells you whether it still matches. If the format moved, it writes a redacted sample you can attach to an issue — the redaction happens on your machine, before anything leaves it, and you decide what to attach. You never send me a real transcript.
About ten minutes, two or three times a year, when I ping you. No commit rights, no code, no Xcode, no review duty, no response deadline. If you get busy or lose interest, say so or say nothing — Qwen drops back to best-effort and nothing bad happens to you. You get your name on the entry in STEWARDS.md and on the support page, with a dated public record of each check.

And if you'd rather just install it and tell me my Qwen rendering is wrong, that works too — the bug report is worth as much to me as the signup: https://jazzyalex.github.io/agent-sessions/?campaign=reddit&ref=r-qwen-steward.
