Overview

Most AI coding tools save their chat logs in separate folders on your computer, so finding something you asked three days ago takes some digging. Automater sits in your system tray and indexes the transcript files those apps already write to disk. According to the homepage, it covers 41 tools (including Claude Code, Cursor and Codex) and puts them into one local search bar alongside usage meters for 9 providers.

If you only use one editor, you probably do not need it. It makes more sense for developers running several CLI and desktop agents at once, since the tray icon flags the moment a background agent stops on a permission prompt. Local hotkey voice dictation is built in as well.

Automater Lite is free on Windows, Linux and macOS with no account needed, and the site says your session logs stay on your machine. A paid PRO tier adds multi-machine controls and extra tray tools, though PRO pricing is not listed on the public pages (it sends you to /upgrade instead), and the Mac build is Apple Silicon only.
