Claudito is a free, open-source command-line assistant for academic research — no web app, no account, no cloud. It harvests papers from publishers, screens and organises your BibTeX references, and builds your LaTeX, Word and PDF documents — inside your project folder, under your control.
Install to first PDF in three minutes — no configuration, no accounts.
Live simulation of a real clt session — you type plain commands, claudito handles LaTeX, Word, slides and every format. A recorded video will replace this.
One line. The installer tries GitHub first and falls back to the GitLab mirror automatically — use whichever line matches your platform.

Same here — vX.Y.Z comes from the latest release page.
Claudito ships with a guided tutorial: it tells you what to type, then checks that it actually happened. This is the shape of a first run.
clt. Claudito starts a session there.new project. Claudito creates the project structure: Project plan/, Documents/, references/.Documents/abstract.txt. Claudito confirms the project now has a working abstract.harvest with your topic. Claudito searches the publisher databases and downloads the papers into references/, organised by theme, with a BibTeX entry for each.Project plan/Project.txt — the master document. Lines starting with // are private notes that never appear in the output.build. Claudito compiles the plan into PDF, Word and LaTeX under latex/.Built by a working researcher, for the parts of research that eat your evenings.
Searches publisher databases (Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springer, IEEE, ACM, Wiley…) and downloads papers into a library organised by theme — not a downloads-folder pile.
Every paper gets a clean BibTeX entry. Duplicates are merged, junk is screened out, and the curated shortlist stays separate from the harvested pool.
Your plan, report or paper lives in a single readable text file. Claudito builds the LaTeX, the PDF and the Word file from it — always in sync, always reproducible.
A local writing window where you write plain text and pick a journal or conference template — claudito applies the publisher's formatting. You never touch a style rule.
One command turns the master document into a presentation deck. Same content, another format, no PowerPoint.
Invite collaborators, share the project, and sync between machines. Every session is logged; every change is archived before it happens.
The built-in tutorial walks you through the first project step by step and checks each step is really done — no manual required.
No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud lock-in. Your project stays a plain folder you can zip, git, or carry on a USB stick.
