LifeOS is an AI-powered life operating system that helps you move from your current state toward your ideal state through AI-assisted planning and execution.

The tool addresses the problem that general-purpose AI harnesses lack persistent knowledge of who you are, what matters to you, and where you're trying to go. LifeOS solves this by capturing your context—your goals, contacts, and preferences—and maintaining that knowledge across sessions. It uses a hill-climbing approach centered on moving from current state to ideal state, with the system intelligently routing tasks to specialized skills and continuously learning from your decisions and past sessions. The system bundles research, security, writing, art, and other capabilities into a unified skill library that adapts to your needs.

LifeOS suits developers and knowledge workers who want an AI assistant that understands their long-term objectives and personal context rather than starting fresh with each interaction. It works best for people managing complex projects—building apps, starting businesses, creative work—where having AI that knows your full situation makes each task more efficient. The tool installs through an AI coding harness like Claude Code, Cursor, or Hermes, which means you need a capable agent and the bun runtime to get started.

The project shows substantial real-world adoption, with almost all open issues coming from outside users rather than the core team. Maintainers typically respond to new issues and pull requests within a few days.
