CarbonLint – Real-time carbon footprint profiler for development environments

Summary: CarbonLint is a desktop application that monitors energy consumption in development workflows and calculates the associated carbon footprint using regional carbon intensity data. It provides real-time insights to help developers measure and reduce the environmental impact of their code and build processes.

What it does

CarbonLint tracks CPU, memory, and network energy usage in real time and applies local carbon intensity metrics to estimate CO2 emissions. It offers a live dashboard, daily carbon budget alerts, and integration with CI/CD pipelines to measure test-related emissions.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers seeking to understand and optimize the environmental impact of their coding and build activities.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of visibility into the carbon cost of development workflows, enabling greener coding decisions based on accurate, real-time data.
