Watcher

Monitor your AI coding agents.

Watcher observes coding agents (Claude Code and Codex) as they work. It hooks into agent sessions on your machine, sends activity to your Watcher backend for analysis, and gives you visibility into, and policy controls over, what agents are doing. For more, see watcher.apolloresearch.ai, or read the docs.
