Every coding agent, one workspace

Run first-class agent CLIs side by side in resumable tabs. Authenticate once with each harness and reuse its existing local credentials, or save an API key per provider in Lite and skip the sign-in flows entirely.

Claude Code
Run Claude Code sessions with your existing local sign-in or an Anthropic API key.

Bring your own models

Codex speaks the OpenAI Responses API, so Lite can point it at other providers too. Save an API key and Lite defines the provider for that launch only — your default Codex setup and existing sessions stay untouched.

Everything around your sessions

Lite keeps the context you reach for while agents work — files, Git state, and usage — in one window.

Side-by-side sessions
Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, Kimi, and shell tabs together, and resume them automatically after closing Lite or restarting your computer.
Your credentials stay yours
Reuse each CLI's existing local sign-in, or save an API key per provider in an owner-only file. Lite never reads provider token stores.
Files and Markdown
Browse files on demand with syntax highlighting for popular languages, and preview rendered Markdown safely alongside source.
Git context at a glance
See the active branch, worktree, and changed files without leaving your session.
Context and usage
Inspect per-session context and provider usage reported by Claude or Codex.
Signed updates, on your terms
Install signed updates from inside Lite. It never checks for updates in the background.

Intentionally quiet: idle means idle

Lite does not index your repository, watch every file, read provider tokens, or send telemetry. Sessions run through the provider CLIs on your machine, and Lite saves only the local metadata needed to restore your tabs.

  • No repository indexing or file watching.
  • No telemetry and no cloud service.
  • Provider conversation history stays with each CLI.
  • API keys live in an owner-only file in Lite's own data folder.

Frequently asked questions

  • Ultralytics Lite is a free, open-source desktop workspace for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, and your shell. It keeps agent sessions, files, and Git context together in one fast, local app.

  • Yes. Codex speaks the OpenAI Responses API, and Lite can point it at DeepSeek or OpenRouter — save the provider's API key in Lite and it defines the provider for that launch only, leaving your default Codex configuration untouched.

  • Lite ships builds for macOS (Apple silicon), Windows, and Linux from the latest GitHub release. Download the installer for your platform and open Lite — the new-session dialog links to each provider CLI's setup guide.

  • No. Lite is intentionally quiet: it does not index your repository, watch every file, read provider tokens, or send telemetry. It saves only the local metadata needed to restore your session tabs — provider conversation history remains owned by each provider CLI.

  • Install the provider CLIs you want to use and complete each one's normal sign-in once — every CLI keeps credentials in its own local store, so later Lite sessions reuse the same authentication. Prefer API keys? Save one per provider in Lite and it is passed to sessions through the environment variable that CLI already reads.

  • Yes. Lite is open source under the AGPL-3.0 License. For commercial licensing, see Ultralytics Licensing.

  • Open the Lite menu and choose Check for updates to install signed updates from inside the app. Lite never checks for updates in the background, and updates keep your data — the updater replaces the app bundle, not your files.
