README
Tachograph — local-first monitoring for AI coding agents
**Tachograph records what your AI coding agents actually do on your machine — sessions, files read and written, shell commands, MCP calls, and token usage — into a local SQLite database. No accounts, no uploads, no outbound telemetry.**
Built in Rust for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) and OpenAI Codex on macOS and Linux. Everything stays on the box it was collected on.

What Tachograph does
Tachograph attaches to Claude Code through its hook system and reads Codex's durable local rollout log, writing both into one normalized event stream — at `~/Library/Application Support/Tachograph/tachograph.db` on macOS, and `~/.local/share/tachograph/tachograph.db` on Linux:
