Session reports for Claude Code & Codex to improve your code
Keep up with your agents. Spotlight reads your Claude Code and Codex sessions and shows you what your agents actually did, and how to get recursively better every session: what to fix now, what to ship better next time, what's worth sharing. One harness or seven, solo or across your team. Free.
Hey Product Hunt. We're Seth, Neil, and Nick, and we've spent a decade in security and dev tools across Google/Gmail, Valimail, Twilio, and Algolia.
We built Spotlight by Backplanes to help you keep up with your agents. It reads your Claude Code and Codex sessions and shows you what your agents actually did: session reports that make you a better engineer, every day.
This started with a scare. Neil asked Claude to fix one file. It read 47, including his ~/.ssh keys, and wrote an API key into a tracked .env. We build security software, and our own agents did this. We missed it, and caught it by accident while investigating something else.
So we looked deeper, stitching our Claude and Codex sessions together across machines. Two things floored us: how much we'd missed, and how many good moves we were making in one place but not another. Surfaced and shared, those patterns made us better, every day.
That's what Spotlight does for you. After every session, you get a report: what to fix now, what to ship better next time, what's worth sharing. One harness or seven, solo or across your team.
We're building toward a world where you can see and manage everything your agents do. Visibility is where it starts, and we think everyone deserves to know what their agents are doing, so we're making this piece free. We'll be offering paid features and automations in the near future; seeing what your agents did won't cost you. Private and secure by design, with details at backplanes.com/trust.
Install is one line, and your first report lands in ~2 minutes: Get started on backplanes.com.
We hope you love Spotlight, and we can't wait to hear what it illuminates for you.
