Know the moment your product stops matching its docs.
Monocle continuously checks your feature specs against what's actually shipped. When the implementation drifts from what was agreed, the product manager hears about it first — in plain language, not diffs.

Code moves faster than you can track
AI writes and rewrites more of your product every week. Software now changes faster than any human can follow by reading PRs.
Docs quietly go stale
Specs rot without anyone noticing. The document says one thing, the product does another — and nobody knows until a customer does.
Trust gaps become risk
Misunderstandings between intent and implementation compound silently — until they surface as incidents, disputes, or lost accountability.
From commit to decision, without reading code.
Monocle watches your repositories, interprets every change in terms of user-visible behavior, and puts the product manager back in the loop — proactively.
Connect
Link your GitHub repo and point Monocle at your feature spec markdown files.
Watch
Monocle monitors PRs and commits, interpreting what changed in terms of user-visible behavior.
Alert
When code diverges from a spec, the PM is notified in plain language via Slack and the dashboard.
Decide
Review the drift, then accept the change (updating the spec) or flag it as unintended.
Record
Every decision lands in an auditable intent ledger — what was agreed, by whom, and when.
Built for product managers, not for Git.
Everything is expressed in the language of product behavior. No files, no folders, no diffs to decipher.
Plain-language drift alerts
Drift is explained as user-visible behavior: what the spec promised, what the code now does, and why it matters.
Intent Cards
Each feature at a glance: current behaviors, confidence status, owner, and decision history — one card per feature.
Decision Ledger
An immutable log of every accept and flag decision — who, when, and why — so agreements are never lost to memory.
Specs where they belong
Feature specs are markdown files that live with the code — synced across repos so humans and AI tools share one source of truth.
GitHub & Slack native
Connect via GitHub App in minutes. Alerts arrive in Slack and on the dashboard — where your team already works.
Built for AI velocity
Designed for teams whose code changes faster than any human can review. Monocle keeps intent and implementation honest.
