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.
