For developers and agents

Rotato developer resources

Automate local Rotato renders, inspect project files, and find the official machine-readable instructions for the Rotato CLI.

Rotato CLI

Rotato's developer automation surface is its local macOS CLI. On a Mac where the command is installed and available on your PATH, discover the current interface before constructing commands:

command -v rotato
rotato --help

The CLI can inspect .rotato projects and queue snapshot or movie renders into the Rotato Mac app. Its installed help is the authority for available commands, flags, codecs, and formats.

Machine-readable agent documentation

Rotato publishes a standards-based discovery index and an Agent Skill that teaches compatible agents how to use the local CLI safely.

Other Rotato resources

Agent automation

Agents can control Rotato through the CLI bundled with the Rotato Mac app. It can inspect .rotato projects, replace screen media or overlays at render time, and queue snapshot or movie renders. This local CLI is Rotato's supported automation interface today; hosted API and MCP integrations are not yet available.
