Automatic session reports for Claude Code and Codex sessions
Visit website →About
Spotlight reads a developer's Claude Code and Codex sessions and produces a report after each one: files touched, commands run, external tools reached, scope drift, and what deserves human review.
Local redaction strips PII and credentials before anything leaves the laptop, install is one line, and the first report lands in about two minutes. The team has previously shipped security and developer tools at Google, Twilio, Valimail, and Algolia.
Free at launch and aimed at engineers who want a memory of what their coding agent actually did in a long session, instead of relying on a verbose chat scroll.

Why we picked it
Spotlight earns its spot for local redaction before anything leaves the laptop — stripping PII and credentials from a session report automatically is worth naming for a team that wants visibility into what an agent touched without creating a new place secrets could leak from.
