Four tools, each with its own status, read-only or write-only.

Live the same day

  1. 1

    Point your tools at us

    An OTLP endpoint and a write-only key: an env block in ~/.claude/settings.json for Claude Code, or a short block in ~/.codex/config.toml for Codex. Cursor and Copilot connect with a read-only admin token instead.

  2. 2

    Watch the first numbers arrive

    Claude Code and Codex within minutes, Cursor and Copilot after the first hourly sync. Nothing to install.

  3. 3

    Check the invoice

    Add each tool's plan and record its bill. We check it against seats and billed usage and flag differences.

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json, merging with any env block already there, then restart Claude Code.

Token counts and costs. Nothing else.

What we receive

  • Token counts and cost, per model
  • Tool, version and repository name
  • Session time and a random session ID
  • Counts of lines changed, never the lines
  • A salted one-way hash of each tool account

What we never receive

  • Source code or file contents
  • Prompts or completions
  • Keystrokes
  • Developer names or email addresses from your tools
  • A score or ranking of any person

No individual evaluated

Built so that no person is ever scored, the use the EU AI Act treats as high-risk at work.

How this holds

The EU AI Act treats systems that evaluate individual workers as high-risk. Lodeline is designed to hold no individual to evaluate: identity is never assembled, only a per-workspace salted hash used for de-duplication, and every figure is a team or repository aggregate.

EU AI Act, Annex III §4(b) · obligations apply 2 Dec 2027 per Reg. (EU) 2026/1744

Isolated per workspace

The database refuses to return another workspace's rows, whatever the query.

How this holds

Each workspace's rows carry its id, and the database itself filters every query by it. Hosting for a specific jurisdiction is agreed per contract.

Row-level security on every table

Yours to export or delete

Every table as CSV, or the whole workspace deleted, from Settings.

How this holds

Export and deletion are self-service: a deletion can be undone for 30 days, and backups keep the data up to 14 days after it.

FAQ

Questions

Anything else: sales@lodeline.ai

Which tools do you connect to?

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and GitHub Copilot. Each takes a few minutes, and none gives us write access.

How does pricing work?

A fixed fee is applied based on the AI coding budget you have specified. This fee does not vary according to the measurements we take.

Do you track individual developers?

No. We never build a profile of a person. Usage carries only a salted one-way hash used to avoid counting it twice, and every figure is a team or repository total.

Who in our company can see the numbers?

Only the people you invite, with owner, admin or member rights. Every figure is a team or repository total.

How do we get started?

Book a demo. After the call we open your workspace, and you connect your tools the same day.

Know the number before the invoice arrives.

Book a demo and connect your tools the same day.
