Automater

You install the Automater Lite app on Windows, macOS on Apple silicon, or Linux; there is no account and the install takes about a minute. On first run it scans the machine for the AI CLIs and desktop apps you already use and indexes the transcript files each one writes, in place, without plugins or configuration.

• •Unified Session Library - Reads the transcripts 41 AI tools already write across 45 formats and copies them into one local, full-text-searchable library, with one-click resume into the original CLI where that CLI supports it.
• •Needs-You Flags - Live activity shows every agent on the machine and raises an amber flag the moment one stops and waits on a question, permission prompt or approval, and this visibility is never paywalled.
• •Cross-Provider Usage Meters - Counts tokens locally as agents work and draws quota headroom for nine providers on a single screen, reading unknown rather than zero when a probe cannot answer, so a runaway is visible before billing catches it.
• •Local Voice Control - A global hotkey transcribes speech on your own hardware straight into the focused window and reads agent status back in a local voice, with no cloud dependency in the free tier.
• •Local-First Privacy - The normalized session library is a file on your own disk that stays searchable whether or not you pay; nothing leaves the machine unless you opt in to the public leaderboard or PRO cloud voice.

Automater is aimed at developers and power users who run multiple AI coding agents in parallel and feel the chaos of it - the person juggling Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok and a few more across a Windows machine and a WSL box, or across macOS and Linux, who cannot see all of them at once.
