Latitude is an observability platform specifically tuned for Claude Code usage. It captures every turn an agent runs — the prompts, tool calls, bash output, files touched, system prompt, and the tool schemas Claude Code composes at runtime — then surfaces it as cost breakdowns per prompt, per session, and per workspace. The platform routes Claude Code traffic through Latitude's instrumentation layer, giving engineering teams real visibility into what their AI coding agent is actually doing versus what they expect it to do. Teams can trace expensive tool-call chains, spot runaway loops, identify which slash-commands are budget-efficient, and attribute costs to specific tasks or repos without wading through raw OpenTelemetry traces. In a world where Claude Code rate limits and API costs are a real engineering budget concern, Latitude fills a genuine observability gap. It launched on Product Hunt today with 150 votes and complements Claude Code's native OpenTelemetry support by adding a human-readable interface and cost attribution dashboard that raw traces simply don't give you.

Tauri builds lightweight desktop apps using the OS webview instead of bundling Chromium. Rust backend with any frontend framework. 10x smaller than Electron.
Reviewer scorecard
“Been waiting for exactly this. The per-session token breakdown finally shows which commands are bankrupting my API budget and which are model-efficient. The system prompt inspector — showing what Claude Code actually sends as context — is worth the signup alone.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“You can get 80% of this from Claude Code's built-in OpenTelemetry output piped into a free Grafana dashboard. Latitude is betting that most teams won't DIY it — that's a fair bet — but the freemium paywall likely arrives before you're convinced to hand over a credit card.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“As AI coding agents become the primary way software gets built, observability for agent behaviour becomes as mission-critical as APM was for microservices. Latitude is staking out the right territory at the right moment — this category will be worth billions.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
“Knowing the exact cost of each creative brief I throw at Claude Code would change how I scope projects. Understanding where the token budget disappears makes it easier to write better prompts and structure tasks more efficiently.”
