Overview

Summary: Autometer is a free, local-first desktop tray app that solves the "too many AI agents" problem for developers. Instead of juggling separate terminals and session histories for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and dozens of other tools, it indexes their existing transcript files into one searchable library on your own disk, flags when an agent is waiting on you, and shows a single usage meter across nine AI providers. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and requires no account on the free tier.

What is Autometer?
Autometer is a desktop companion utility built by WEBRULON LLC (New York), founded by Russell Winslow, and launched in October 2026. It is not an AI coding agent itself and it reads the session files that 41 AI coding tools already write locally. The free Lite tier covers three core jobs: session library (full-text search across 45 formats, one-click resume in 11 CLIs), Needs You alerts (notifications when an agent pauses for approval or input), and usage tracking (local token counting across nine providers). The paid PRO tier adds chat, managed sessions, computer control, a multi-machine Fleet view, and experimental tools. Your session library is a plain local file, and nothing is uploaded unless you opt in.
