Screenpipe — Open-Source Alternative to Microsoft Recall & Rewind That Records Your Screen and Audio Locally Privacy Tools (sh.itjust.works)

Screenpipe is an open-source AI memory tool that continuously captures screen activity and audio, then lets you search everything you've seen, heard, or done using natural language.

Unlike Microsoft Recall, Rewind, or Limitless, data is stored locally and the project is fully open source. It also integrates with MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.

The privacy trade-off is interesting: even though data stays on-device, the software still records nearly everything happening on your computer.

Would you run a tool that remembers everything you do if the data never left your device?

With a 100% guarantee of security, maybe??? But that is an illusion.
