Claudoscope is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app that gives Claude Code users a full session history browser, cost analytics, and search across all their coding sessions. It reads directly from local JSONL session files in ~/.claude/projects/ and works entirely offline — no telemetry, no data sent anywhere, fully MIT-licensed. The tool estimates costs from raw token counts against published API pricing, giving developers a clear picture of where their Claude Code spend is going across projects and sessions. It also automatically scans for leaked API keys and credentials in session content — effectively adding a passive security audit to every session review. Claudoscope fills a real gap: Claude Code's built-in /cost command only covers the current session. Claudoscope gives historical visibility and project-level analytics. It works with any Claude Code deployment including Enterprise API setups where cookie-based session trackers fail. Built and maintained by an indie developer, free forever.

Logic is a spec-driven agent platform that collapses the fragmented AI toolchain into a single system. Write your agent's behavior in plain English, and Logic auto-generates a typed REST API complete with inline test cases, version control with diff tracking, rollback, and execution logging — no framework setup or infrastructure build required. The generated API is immediately production-grade with SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA certification and a 99.9% uptime SLA. What makes Logic different is what it replaces: most teams stitching together AI agents end up managing PromptLayer for versioning, Braintrust for evaluation, LangFuse for logging, and Swagger for API docs. Logic consolidates all of that. Model routing is automatic — it picks between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Perplexity based on task complexity, cost, and latency. Agents can connect to external tools via MCP, query a built-in knowledge library, and process CSV batches in parallel. The non-engineer story is compelling too: because the source of truth is a plain English spec rather than code, product managers and ops teams can update agent behavior without breaking the API contract. Logic deployed to the top of Product Hunt's charts today, signaling that the 'spec as code' pattern is resonating with teams burned by brittle prompt management.
Reviewer scorecard
“As someone who runs Claude Code 8+ hours a day, this is immediately valuable. I had no idea which projects were burning through tokens until I installed it. The leaked credential detection is a bonus I didn't expect — it already caught a test API key I'd forgotten to rotate.”
“Eliminating the PromptLayer + Braintrust + LangFuse + Swagger stack into one product is genuinely useful. Auto-generated typed APIs with regression detection on every spec edit is what I want — I don't want to maintain that infra myself. MCP integration is the right call for tool connectivity.”
“This is fundamentally a log file reader with cost estimation math. Anthropic could ship this natively in Claude Code in a single PR and make Claudoscope obsolete overnight. The gap it fills is real, but the risk of deprecation-by-inclusion is very high for an indie-maintained tool.”
“Platform lock-in is the real risk here. You're encoding your agent logic in their proprietary spec format, which means migration is painful if pricing changes or the product gets acquired. The 'plain English spec' sounds great until your requirements are complex enough to need real code — then you're hitting the ceiling of what their abstraction can express.”
“The emergence of cost-tracking tools for AI coding sessions is a leading indicator of developer maturity. When developers start optimizing their AI spend like they optimize their AWS bill, we've crossed a real threshold. Claudoscope is primitive, but it's the first version of what becomes a full AI development economics dashboard.”
“Spec-driven development is the right abstraction layer as agents proliferate. When non-engineers can update agent behavior in plain English without involving a developer, the deployment velocity for AI systems increases by an order of magnitude. Logic is betting on the right future — the question is whether they build a moat before the big platforms copy the pattern.”
“Indie developers and freelancers who need to track Claude Code costs against client projects will love this. The project-level breakdown finally makes AI tool costs legible as a line item on a client invoice — something that's been surprisingly hard to do until now.”
“Being able to update an AI agent's behavior in plain English without filing a ticket with engineering is huge for content operations teams. I can see this being the way marketing and editorial teams manage their own AI workflows without needing to understand prompt engineering. The free tier makes it worth experimenting with.”
