## What it is
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
