What is Havoptic?

Havoptic is a free, open-source tracker that monitors release updates and changelogs from multiple AI coding assistants in a single dashboard. Instead of checking each tool's website separately, you can see new versions, feature additions, and bug fixes from Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Kiro, and Windsurf all in one place. This tool is designed for developers who use several AI coding tools and want to stay informed about updates without constant manual checking. It aggregates changelog data automatically, so you can quickly spot new capabilities or improvements that might affect your workflow. Since Havoptic is open-source, anyone can contribute improvements or add support for additional tools. There are no paywalls or required accounts, making it accessible to all developers regardless of budget.
