## What it is
Windrecorder is a local-first screen recording and memory search app for Windows, an open-source alternative to Rewind.ai and Microsoft Recall. It continuously captures your screen, indexes it with OCR and image descriptions, and lets you search your past activity through a web UI with activity statistics.

## Use cases
- search everything I've seen on my screen
- rewind and find a page I read earlier
- local alternative to Windows Recall or Rewind.ai
- track my screen activity statistics and timelines
- OCR text search across screen recordings
- record screen continuously with low disk usage

## When to choose
- you want a fully local, private screen memory search tool on Windows
- you need OCR search over everything displayed on your screen
- you want activity analytics like word clouds and timelines from screen data
- you prefer owning your data with no cloud upload

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, polished production tool - the project is in early development
- you're on macOS or Linux - it targets Windows
- you can't afford continuous screen recording's disk and CPU overhead
- you need multi-device or cloud sync of recordings
