Editorial interest 81/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A privacy-first development tracker that reconstructs work time from local AI-agent transcripts and Git activity.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

Estela combines local transcripts from Claude Code and Codex with Git history, matching sessions to commits through timestamps, authors, and branches. Its reports distinguish measured agent activity from estimated manually written time, and the homepage shows examples such as seven unintegrated branches and $137.20 in AI cost. The free tier is described as local-only, while synchronization, hosted panels, and team reporting belong to paid plans.
