What is Havoptic?

Havoptic is a free, open-source release tracker designed to monitor updates across multiple AI coding tools in one centralised location. Instead of checking each tool's website or social channels separately, you can view changelogs and version updates from Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kiro, and Windsurf all in one dashboard. The tool is built for developers who use several AI coding assistants and need to stay informed about new features, improvements, and bug fixes without the friction of visiting each platform individually. By aggregating release information from different sources, Havoptic saves time and helps you understand what capabilities are available in the tools you already use. As an open-source project, it's freely available and welcomes community contributions, making it a lightweight alternative to manual tracking or newsletter subscriptions.
