What people automate
Concrete workflows Ghosthread handles silently while you keep working.
WhatsApp triage while coding
Ghosthread reads unread badges via OCR, drafts replies, and queues them off-screen. You review once, it sends everything in one batch.
Auto-sort Downloads by project
Files detected with project tags get routed into their matching workspace folder. No drag, no drop.
Silent dev-server restart
Watchdog monitors your Node/Python process. On crash, it restarts and notifies you — without a single terminal keystroke.
Slack channel digest
Every 4 hours, Ghosthread scrapes channels you follow, summarizes them into markdown, and appends to your notes app.
Screenshot library organizer
New screenshots get renamed, dated, and filed into folders by content type — detected via OCR.
Thermal watchdog
Reads CPU/GPU sensors every 30 seconds. On threshold breach, it closes background apps and notifies you.
Chrome tab graveyard
Tabs idle over 48 hours get summarized, saved to markdown, then closed. Your RAM thanks you.
Windows Update janitor
Detects pending updates, schedules them into your idle window, and reboots silently at 4am.
Email zero-inbox pass
Runs every morning, archives newsletters, flags action items, and drafts replies for anything under 3 sentences.
Test-run bookkeeper
Every time you run your test suite, Ghosthread captures output, diffs failures against last run, and posts a summary to Slack.
Duplicate photo reaper
Perceptual-hash comparison across your Pictures folder. Keeps the highest-resolution, recycles the rest.
Meeting prep assistant
15 minutes before any calendar event, it opens the meeting link, pulls relevant files from your drive, and stages them.
Git repo health check
Weekly scan across your local repos: flags stale branches, uncommitted work, and forgotten stash entries.
Discord DM triage
Sorts DMs into priority tiers by sender history, drafts tier-1 replies, queues tier-2 for review.
PDF invoice scraper
Scans your Downloads for PDFs, extracts totals, and appends them to a spreadsheet.
Battery-aware task deferral
Long-running jobs wait until you're plugged in and idle. Automatically resumes if unplugged.
PR review queue
Watches GitHub, pulls diffs of PRs assigned to you, and stages them side-by-side in your editor.
Voicemail transcription
Syncs new voicemails, transcribes via local Whisper, files them into project folders.
Silent app updates
Detects stale apps across winget/scoop/choco. Queues updates into your idle windows.
Recycle Bin auto-empty
Once a week, purges files older than 30 days that you never restored. Whitelist anything important.
Log tail summarizer
Watches your app logs. On error patterns, extracts the last 100 lines and posts to your team.
