About globalize.now
globalize.now is an AI-powered localization tool designed to integrate directly into your software repository. By connecting your GitHub or GitLab repository, the application automatically scans your codebase, configures i18n, extracts hardcoded strings, translates them, and pushes the changes back on a branch for your review.
Built to streamline the internationalization workflow, the tool handles every subsequent push automatically. It supports over 50 languages—including right-to-left (RTL) layouts. For developers who prefer working directly in their development environment, globalize.now can also be driven via Claude Code or Cursor using MCP and skills.
Pros of globalize.now
- Automated repository scanning and i18n setup for GitHub and GitLab
- Extracts and translates hardcoded strings automatically
- Supports over 50 languages with RTL (right-to-left) included
- Integrates with developer environments like Claude Code and Cursor via MCP and skills
Cons of globalize.now
- Limited to GitHub and GitLab repositories based on provided details
- Requires repository connection to operate automated workflows
Frequently Asked Questions
How does globalize.now integrate with my project?
You connect your GitHub or GitLab repository directly in the app. It then scans your codebase, sets up i18n, extracts hardcoded strings, and pushes translations back on a branch for your review.
Can I use globalize.now directly from my code editor?
Yes, if you prefer your editor, you can drive globalize.now from Claude Code or Cursor via the MCP and skills.
How many languages are supported?
globalize.now supports over 50 languages, including right-to-left (RTL) language support.
Are future code pushes automatically translated?
Yes, every push after the initial setup gets translated automatically.
About Watchdog
Watchdog is a dedicated local control plane designed specifically for developers managing subagents, agentic loops, and complex agent execution graphs. While parallel coding agents enable rapid development, coordinating concurrent tasks can quickly become complex and difficult to track. Watchdog solves this issue by offering a centralized, real-time dashboard of your entire agent network.
Rather than acting as a passive monitoring dashboard, Watchdog operates as an active control room. From a single workspace, developers can observe what each agent is working on, track real-time token consumption and costs, identify the specific model and reasoning effort in use, and map agent relationships. Crucially, Watchdog allows you to actively stop, steer, and control your running agents in real time.
To fit seamlessly into different developer environments and workflow preferences, Watchdog provides three distinct user interfaces:
- Yard: A unique, pixel-art-themed user interface.
- Operator: A dedicated, streamlined control interface.
- TUI: A Terminal User Interface tailored specifically for command-line environments.
Pros of Watchdog
- Provides a unified, real-time control plane to actively stop, steer, and manage all subagents
- Tracks critical execution metrics including token consumption, costs, and reasoning efforts
- Offers three flexible user surfaces: Yard (pixel art UI), Operator, and a terminal-based TUI
- Maps and visualizes complex relationships between parallel execution graphs and agentic loops
Cons of Watchdog
- Operates as a local control plane, which may not suit teams looking for a fully managed SaaS cloud solution
- Primarily tailored for coding-centric agents and execution graphs rather than general-purpose business automations
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Watchdog?
Watchdog is a local control plane designed to help developers manage, monitor, and actively direct subagents, agentic loops, and execution graphs from a single, unified view.
What are the three UI surfaces available in Watchdog?
Watchdog offers three user surfaces to match your preferred workflow: Yard (a unique pixel art UI), Operator (a dedicated, streamlined control interface), and a Terminal User Interface (TUI) for command-line environments.
Does Watchdog allow you to control agents, or is it read-only?
Watchdog is an active control room. It goes beyond simple passive monitoring, allowing you to actively stop, steer, and control all of your agents from a single workspace.
What details can I track for each agent using Watchdog?
You can monitor what each agent is currently working on, the specific model and reasoning effort being utilized, real-time token consumption, associated execution costs, and the relationships between different agents in your execution graph.
