OpenRecall is an open-source, privacy-first digital memory tool that periodically takes screenshots of your screen, extracts text via local OCR, and makes your history semantically searchable. It is a self-hosted alternative to Microsoft Windows Recall and Rewind.ai, storing all data locally.
Use cases
- search my screen history for something I saw earlier
- open-source alternative to Windows Recall
- remember what I was doing on my computer yesterday
- locally searchable screenshot history without cloud
- find a webpage or document I glanced at last week
- privacy-first activity timeline on macOS and Linux
When to choose
- you want a transparent, auditable alternative to proprietary recall tools
- you need cross-platform support including Linux
- you require all data stored locally with optional encryption
- your hardware is not on the certified list for Windows Recall
When to avoid
- you need real-time video recording rather than periodic snapshots
- you want cloud sync across devices
- you are uncomfortable with continuous screen capture for privacy reasons
- you need a polished commercial product with support
