 "what": "ThinkWatch Lite is a local gateway on macOS, Windows and Linux that sits between AI clients such as Claude Code and Codex and their upstreams, recording requests and filtering keys and tool calls.",
 "why": "",
 "language": "TypeScript",
 "requirements": [
  "A supported computer: macOS 12 or later on Apple silicon, Windows 10 21H2 or later, or a Linux x86_64 or aarch64 machine",
  "At least one upstream you already have access to, such as an API key, a relay, or a local model",
  "The AI client you want to connect, such as Claude Code or Codex, already installed"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Developers and power users who run Claude Code, Codex or similar AI clients through API keys, relays or multiple model providers and want control over routing, cost and safety.",
