datawatch

Run AI coding and automation work from one place: on your own machines, from your phone, or from chat.

datawatch is a program you run on your own computer or server. It starts AI assistants such as Claude Code to do work, watches them, and tells you when they need you, in a web page, on your phone, or in Signal, Telegram, Slack and other chat apps.

It began as a way to answer an AI coding session from Signal or Telegram. It now also plans bigger jobs, remembers what happened, and shares the work across several machines.

• Start and watch AI work from your phone, the web, chat or a terminal

• Your data stays on your machines, encrypted and behind a login
