About

AutomateTheRest is a collection of real-world automations — practical systems people actually run to eliminate repetitive work, documented so you can steal them outright. No theory, no vague productivity advice: just the workflows, the tools, and the tradeoffs that made them work.

Who it's for

Systems thinkers

People who see a repeated task and can't not automate it.

Developers

Scripts, cron jobs, and APIs stitched together to remove busywork.

Makers

Hardware, sensors, and glue code for the physical world.

Productivity enthusiasts

Tools and routines that buy back hours every week.

Smart home builders

Homes that quietly run themselves.
