Quick Start

Argus is a desktop app that helps you find and fix wasted agent work. It's built for people using AI for business tasks. These tasks are usually more open-ended and need more external context than coding, making for some frustrating agent interactions. Argus analyzes your AI sessions to identify those costly, repetitive or unsuccessful tasks. It works with Claude Cowork, Claude Chat, Claude Code, ChatGPT Work and Codex.

The Argus Activity view: sessions, tokens and estimated cost up top, with recommendations and daily token and cost trends below.

Local, private and free

Argus stores all its data on your own computer and never uploads it unless you choose to sync usage data to an Argus Hub run by your company. Argus is a free open source project from The Agent Deployment Company.

Features

Open Argus and it shows your agent usage from every angle:

  • Tokens and estimated cost over time
  • A breakdown by source: Claude Cowork, Claude Chat, Claude Code, ChatGPT Work, Codex and Gemini CLI
  • The skills, tools, MCP servers, plugins, models and projects you use most
  • The tools that send the most content back into your agent's context
  • Per-session time, tokens, cost and prompts
