Scarf

Open source usage intelligence

Visit Scarf

Scarf is an open source usage intelligence platform that connects signals such as package downloads, container registry activity, documentation visits, files, APIs, and product telemetry to the organizations behind them. It identifies which companies use a project, which versions they run, and how engagement changes over time, without storing personally identifiable information by default. Data can be filtered, exported, and sent to other systems.

Collection methods include Scarf Gateway, Scarf SDKs, Scarf Pixels, custom telemetry, event import, and registry integrations covering Docker, Helm, npm, PyPI, Homebrew, GitHub Releases, S3, and Maven Central. Scarf AI provides an interface for investigating adoption and automating workflows, usable directly, through Codex or OpenClaw via the Scarf AI skill, or with the Scarf Agent in Slack. Saved scopes support repeatable workflows, and data can be exported or integrated with Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Common Room, APIs, and webhooks. The Gateway can be self-hosted.

Scarf is aimed at open source teams, revenue and product teams, founders, and security teams monitoring organization-wide open source consumption. It is included in project benefits at several open source foundations. A free Starter plan provides a monthly allowance of company unlocks and runs, with paid options for additional company detail and automation as usage grows.
