# Connecting Your Engineering Tools

At Aude, we believe performance insights should come from where work actually happens. By connecting to your team’s daily use engineering tools, we automatically gather signals about collaboration, code quality, project progress, and team communication - all without changing how your team works.

We've designed our integrations to be secure, respectful of your data, and focused on metrics that matter. You control what data is shared, and we never store source code or sensitive information. Most teams can complete their initial integrations in under 30 minutes.
