Built for people who care about getting AI behavior right. Explore conversations, grade responses, capture rationales, identify patterns, and understand how your AI is evolving, all locally on your Mac.

Features

Local & Private

Your traces stay on your machine. Goodtrace uses local AI to analyze your data, so nothing has to leave your device.

Query Themes

Every dataset contains recurring topics, user intents, and edge cases. Query Themes reveal clusters and outliers at a glance, making it easy to explore similar conversations and investigate unusual ones.

Conversation First

Reading traces shouldn’t feel like reading JSON. Goodtrace presents conversations naturally while keeping the underlying data only a click away whenever you need it.

Grading

Review each sample with a grade and supporting rationale. Highlight text directly in the conversation to capture evidence without interrupting your flow.

Emerging Themes

As your rationales accumulate, Goodtrace identifies recurring successes and failure modes, helping you discover patterns that are difficult to notice one trace at a time.

Progress Over Time

Each round of grading helps you understand the impact of changes to your prompts, tools, skills, and rubrics. Compare rounds to see what’s improving, what’s regressing, and where to focus next.

Design

Designed to be Read

Reviewing traces requires sustained attention. Goodtrace is designed to make that work feel calmer, faster, and more enjoyable, with carefully considered typography, spacing, and layout that keep your focus on the conversation.

Keyboard First

Every repetitive action has a shortcut. Hold the Command key anywhere in the app to discover available keyboard shortcuts and move quickly through large datasets.

Helpful, Never Intrusive

As patterns emerge in your grading, Goodtrace begins suggesting rationales based on your previous decisions. The goal isn’t to replace your judgment; it’s to help you apply it more consistently.
