Swear Jar · an unfocused.ai open-source project
Swear Jar is a local developer tool for Claude Code and Codex. It scans the AI prompts and recordings you already have, counts how often you swear at the machine, and turns the aggregate word counts into a ridiculous engineering damage report.
The report is generated locally and stays on your machine. Only disclosed aggregate numbers can travel — a hosted report link, a shared card, or a leaderboard entry — and we may keep and use those aggregate numbers. We never take your transcripts.
Three steps
The concept is simple: install from GitHub, analyze the history you already own, then see the numbers. One route, one command, one report.
Clone the repository, then run the guided setup. It wires the hooks, scans the history you choose, and writes a local report.
git clone https://github.com/BigLaserCo/swear-jar.git cd swear-jar node bin/swear-jar.mjs install node bin/swear-jar.mjs init --local
Scan supported AI prompts plus existing recordings or transcripts from tools such as Superwhisper. Analysis happens locally; the ledger keeps aggregate counts, not sentences.
node bin/swear-jar.mjs backfill
Build the local report. It opens on your machine. If you later open your hosted report link, share the generated card, or join the leaderboard, only the disclosed aggregate numbers leave — and we may keep and use those numbers.
node bin/swear-jar.mjs dashboard --local
Uninstall anytime: node bin/swear-jar.mjs uninstall removes only the hooks; your local ledger and report stay untouched. The same command is in the README and man page.
