SecAIQ Watch just launched: a free dashboard that tracks AI tools on your computer. It’s local, read-only, and doesn’t need a cloud account.

SecAIQ Watch is a new free, open-source dashboard aimed at people who want to see what AI software is doing on their own machines. It shows which tools are running, what they connect to, what they can access, and how many tokens they use. The pitch is simple: visibility without handing over the keys.
That local-only design is the real point here. There’s no cloud piece, no account to create, and the product is read-only, so it’s meant to observe rather than interfere. In a category where a lot of software asks for trust up front and explanation later, that matters.
The app is available on macOS, Linux, and Windows, though Windows is still in beta. Product Hunt lists it under security software and observability tools, which fits the job description pretty neatly. It’s not trying to be another AI assistant. It’s trying to watch the assistants you already have.
And that makes SecAIQ Watch feel less like a flashy launch and more like a small but sensible bit of plumbing. Open source, privacy-first, and boring in the best possible way. The sort of tool you hope you don’t need until you do.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right kind of paranoia: quiet, local, and not asking for a login like it’s the price of civilization. Privacy tools should default to less data, not more of a story about why collecting it is fine. Open-source observability for AI software is where the adults will end up, after the demo smoke clears.
