Screenpipe is a source-available desktop application that continuously records your screen and audio locally, extracting text via OCR/accessibility APIs and transcribing audio with Whisper. It builds a searchable local memory of your computer activity that AI agents (Claude, Codex, etc.) can use as context via MCP and integrations.

Use cases

  • record my screen continuously and search it with ai
  • give my ai agents context about what i did on my computer
  • find a meeting or conversation i had last week
  • local alternative to rewind.ai or microsoft recall
  • automatically generate meeting notes and summaries
  • build a digital clone of my work history
  • transcribe audio locally and keep everything on my machine

When to choose

  • you want a privacy-first, 100% local memory of your screen and audio activity
  • you need to give coding or productivity agents real context from your workday
  • you want searchable meeting and app history without cloud recording
  • you want an open, auditable alternative to Rewind, Recall, Granola, or Otter

When to avoid

  • you are uncomfortable with continuous screen and microphone capture even locally
  • you need a lightweight tool - it runs constantly in the background consuming resources
  • you require a fully open-source (OSI-approved) license - it is source-available with a custom license
  • you only need occasional screenshots rather than continuous capture
