Lite Interface#

The thinkt web lite command opens a lightweight web interface for exploring your AI coding sessions. It provides a quick overview of your sources, projects, and API access without the full TUI experience.

The lite interface is served at /lite/ on the main server (port 8784 by default).

Quick Start#

thinkt web lite                # Open lite interface in browser
thinkt web lite --no-open      # Don't auto-open browser

If the server is not already running, it will be started in the background.

Purpose#

The lite interface is designed for:

• Quick inspection - See all your projects and sources at a glance
• API exploration - Test API endpoints with built-in viewers
• Debugging - Verify thinkt can find your session files
• Development - Lightweight alternative when building integrations

Features#

Sources Panel#

The left sidebar shows all detected AI coding assistant sources:

Each source displays:

• Name with color-coded indicator
• Base path where sessions are stored
• Status (OK or N/A)
• Visibility toggle - Click the eye icon to show/hide projects from that source

Projects Panel#

Projects are aggregated by path across all sources. If you’ve used multiple AI assistants in the same project directory, they appear as a single entry with multiple source badges.

Features:

• Aggregated view - Same project path from different sources combined
• Source badges - Color-coded badges showing which sources have sessions, with counts
• Dimmed home directory - The /Users/you or /home/you portion is dimmed for readability
• Session counts - Total sessions across all sources
• Last modified - Relative date (today, yesterday, 3 days ago)
• Click to copy - Click a project path to copy it to clipboard
• Open-in dropdown - Quick open in Finder, VS Code, Cursor, etc.

Apps Panel#

Shows configured applications for the “Open In” feature. Available apps depend on the platform:

• macOS: Finder, Terminal, iTerm
• Linux: File Manager (xdg-open), Terminal (x-terminal-emulator)
• Windows: Explorer, Windows Terminal, Command Prompt
• All platforms: VS Code, Cursor, Zed (when installed)

Themes Panel#

Displays available TUI themes with the active theme highlighted.

API Viewers#

Quick-access buttons to view raw API responses:

• API: Sources - /api/v1/sources
• API: Projects - /api/v1/projects
• API: Apps - /api/v1/open-in/apps
• API: Themes - /api/v1/themes

Click any button to open a modal with syntax-highlighted JSON.

Connection Status#

The top-right shows real-time connection status:

• Green - Connected to API
• Orange - Checking connection
• Red - Disconnected

Click to manually refresh the connection status.

Language Support#

Switch between languages using the top-right selector:

• English (EN)
• Spanish (ES)
• Chinese (中文)

Examples#

Basic Usage#

# Open lite interface
thinkt web lite

# Opens browser to http://localhost:8784/lite/

Direct Access#

# If the server is already running, access directly:
# http://localhost:8784/lite/

With Logging#

# Start server with logging, then open lite
thinkt server start
thinkt web lite
thinkt server http-logs -f    # Follow HTTP access logs

Docker Usage#

Run the server in Docker and access the lite interface:

docker run --rm -p 8784:8784 \
  -v ~/.claude:/data/.claude:ro \
  -v ~/.kimi:/data/.kimi:ro \
  -v ~/.codex:/data/.codex:ro \
  ghcr.io/wethinkt/thinkt server run --host 0.0.0.0 --no-auth

Access the lite interface at http://localhost:8784/lite/.

Comparison with Full Web App#

Both are served on the same port (8784 by default).

**Tip:** For full visual exploration of your AI coding sessions, use `thinkt web` instead. The lite interface is designed for quick inspection and API debugging.
