Porch

Porch is an innovative open-source tool designed for developers working with AI coding models like Claude Code and Codex. It transforms raw session data into comprehensive summaries, offering daily, weekly, and monthly insights into project progress, task estimates, and potential blockers. The tool provides an intuitive way to track terminal and editor sessions, monitor token usage, and keep an eye on API costs, all while maintaining privacy by keeping session data on the user’s Mac. Summaries can be saved as Markdown files, making it easy to organize and integrate with note-taking apps like Obsidian. Porch is especially appealing to developers who want detailed project insights without relying on cloud accounts, emphasizing local control and security. Its open-source nature encourages customization and community involvement, making it ideal for privacy-conscious teams and individual coders who value detailed reporting and cost management in their AI development workflow.
