⚡ Ultralytics Lite
Lite is a fast, local workspace for Claude Code, Codex on OpenAI, DeepSeek, Z.ai, Xiaomi MiMo, or OpenRouter, Gemini CLI, Kimi Code, Qwen Code, and your shell. Keep agent sessions, files, and Git context together without repository indexing, telemetry, or a cloud service.

✨ Features
- Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kimi Code, Qwen Code, and shell sessions side by side
- Run Codex against DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Z.ai GLM-5.3, Xiaomi MiMo-V2.6, or OpenRouter, without changing your default Codex provider
- Resume session tabs automatically after closing Lite or restarting your computer
- Undo a restart or close for eight seconds before Lite stops the terminal
- Authenticate once with each provider and reuse its existing local credentials
- Or save API keys for supported providers in Lite and skip their sign-in flows entirely
- Browse files on demand with language icons, then edit them with automatic saving, search, replace, multi-cursor, and clickable Git change bars
- Preview rendered Markdown safely alongside source files
- See the active Git branch, worktree, and changed files
- Inspect per-session context and provider usage reported by Claude or Codex
- Install signed updates from inside Lite
- Switch between light and dark themes, terminal and code preview included
- Rebind any keyboard shortcut from Settings
Lite is intentionally quiet: idle means idle. It does not index your repository, watch every file, read provider tokens, or send telemetry.
📦 Install
Download Lite from the latest GitHub Release. Release assets are built from the same source for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
macOS
- Download the asset ending in darwinaarch64.dmg for an Apple silicon Mac.
- Open the disk image and drag Lite into Applications.
- Open Lite from Applications. If macOS blocks the unsigned app, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, set Allow applications from to App Store & Known Developers, select Open Anyway for Lite, then confirm.
To reopen Lite after restarting your Mac, leave it open and select Reopen windows when logging back in in the macOS restart or shutdown dialog. Lite restores its saved tabs when it opens. Quit Lite before shutting down if you do not want it to reopen. This uses macOS's built-in app restoration.
