How it works

Install once. Level up every session.

  1. 01

    Install the CLI.

    $ curl -fsSL https://www.backplanes.com/spotlight/install.sh | sh

    Works with macOS, Linux, and WSL 2.

    Authenticates in your browser, creates your team account, and starts capturing sessions as they finish.

  2. 02

    Keep working. We're already on it.

    Spotlight captures sessions automatically when they end. Local redaction strips PII and credentials before anything leaves your laptop. You stay in flow.

    No OAuth into Anthropic or OpenAI. The CLI only reads sessions after they end.

Pricing

Free for you and your team.

Spotlight is free for individual developers and the teams they work on: no seats to count, no trial clock. If you’re rolling it out across a whole org and need attribution, volume, or specific controls, and we’ll set it up together.

$ curl -fsSL https://www.backplanes.com/spotlight/install.sh | sh

Works with macOS, Linux, and WSL 2.

Move fast. See everything.

Your agents are doing more than ever. And most of it is invisible. Our first product, Spotlight, shows you your own sessions today. Over time, Backplanes will help you see, follow, and shape what every agent does: yours, your team's, your whole org's. Start with your next session.
