Desktop App for monitoring and controlling llm requests (with focus on coding agents)

Fully local (on-device), desktop app for

  • block or get notified on high request or token usage by agents
  • searchable complete history for LLM requests by agents
  • pass-through proxy server for LLM requests
  • block or redact requests with sensitive information (pre-defined and user-defined patterns)
  • codex, claude, cursor supported out of the box with tool call and token monitoring

How it works

  • codex and claude code: Codex and Claude Code support a configurable base URL, which lets LLMWatcher route all requests through its local server.
  • cursor: Cursor has limited hooks that LLMWatcher uses to block or monitor requests (auto-redaction and exact token counts are not supported).

Custom LLM endpoints

  • In the app, you can configure a custom chat completions endpoint
  • This feature is useful if you are using your own token with a LLM endpoint, and you want to monitor / control data

Detections

  • Block or Redact data going to LLMs automatically with intelligent pattern matching
  • Pre-defined patterns for general use cases (API Keys, credentials, etc)
