Your AI sessions, remembered.
Automater Lite pulls every AI CLI session on your machine into one searchable local library — and keeps an eye on the whole fleet from your Windows tray.

The problem
Every AI CLI forgets.
You run five assistants a day. Each one keeps its own diary — in its own format, in its own corner of your disk.
Scattered on disk
Transcripts pile up in vendor dirs nobody opens. Ten formats, zero search.
No usage picture
Tokens burn across ten separate meters you can't see in one place. Quota surprises included, free of charge.
Silent finishes
Agents wrap up in background terminals and wait, politely, forever. You find out at standup.
The library
One archive for every assistant.
Lite imports and normalizes sessions from Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Antigravity, Qwen Code, Z.ai GLM, OpenCode, and Copilot into a single library on your machine. Search everything. Resume anything.
- Full-text search across every transcript, every vendor format
- One click resumes a session back into its own terminal
- Vault redaction scrubs what should never leave your machine
Fleet awareness
Know the moment an agent needs you.
Lite detects the AI apps installed on your machine and watches their sessions live. When an agent blocks on a question or a permission prompt, the panel flags it amber. While everything's working, it stays out of your way.
- Automatic detection of installed AI CLIs and apps
- Amber when something needs you, blue while agents work
- Session status without alt-tabbing through ten terminals
Usage & leaderboard
Your tokens, counted. Bragging optional.
A local collector meters token spend across every CLI and draws it on your Home screen. Publish to leaderboard.automater.ai only if you opt in — under your GitHub identity, with evidence confidence tiers and README badges (SVG/JSON) to embed anywhere.
- Local meters work with no account at all
- Opt-in publishing, GitHub identity, confidence tiers
- Medals for the top of the board — badges for your README

Voice
Talk to your machine. It types.
Press the global hotkey, speak, and the transcript pastes into whatever app has focus. Speech-to-text runs on your GPU — sherpa-onnx Parakeet over DirectML or CUDA — with auto, local, and cloud modes. Agents answer back over the TTS relay.

Every take lands in the Latest dictations card · agents speak back via TTS relay
Home & widgets
Your Home. Your order. Your desktop.
Home is a stack of glass cards — Usage, Live activity, Recent sessions, Files, Spotlight, and friends. Pin them, collapse them, drag them into your order. Then pop any card out as an always-on-top floating widget.
- Pin, collapse, and reorder every Home card
- Any card becomes a frameless always-on-top widget
- Shell transparency slider — from solid panel to glass
And then some
Small app. Deep toolbelt.
Files & git status
Branch, working tree, and graph for the repo under your cursor.
Spotlight
Find and front any window on the system.
Skills manager
Sync one skill library across every CLI.
Tool updater
Update all ten CLIs from one panel.
Computer control
Agents drive the desktop — permissioned and audited.
Remote trust tiers
Scope exactly what remote agents may touch.
Tray & keepalive
Always at hand. Never in the way.
Provider accounts
OAuth and API keys for every provider — quota at a glance.

Works with your whole stack.
…and every CLI that writes a transcript.
Trust
Built like it handles your work. Because it does.
Signed end-to-end
Every binary carries an Authenticode signature; every update is verified before install.

FAQ
Fair questions.
Is Automater Lite free?
Yes. Lite is the free companion app. The full Automater Desktop ADE is a separate product — Lite works with it, but never requires it.
Is it Windows-only?
Today, yes — Windows 10/11 x64, built on Tauri 2. macOS and Linux builds are planned; grab a waitlist spot from the download section above.
Where does my data live?
On your machine. Lite reads sessions from your CLIs' own directories and stores the normalized archive locally — it never leaves your disk. Vault redaction lets you scrub sensitive spans, and nothing is uploaded unless you explicitly opt in to the leaderboard.
How does the leaderboard work?
A local collector meters token usage across your CLIs and renders it in the Usage card — no account needed. If you opt in, Lite publishes your totals to leaderboard.automater.ai under your GitHub identity, with evidence confidence tiers and README badges (SVG/JSON) you can embed.
Do I need Automater Desktop?
No. The archive, voice layer, widgets, and usage meters are fully standalone. If you do run Automater Desktop, Lite becomes its tray-side companion — including chatting with the platform from the Automater chat card.
How do updates work?
Auto-updates ship on the stable channel. Every binary is signed via Azure Trusted Signing, and update payloads are additionally minisign-verified before they install. WebView2 is embedded, so even the first install runs fully offline.
