screenpipe is a local-first desktop memory layer that records screen activity, app text, browser context, and audio for AI search. It captures connected monitors when activity changes, extracts accessibility text with OCR as a fallback, and records the active app, window title, and browser URL when available. System audio and microphone input are transcribed locally with OpenAI Whisper, including speaker identification for conversations. Natural-language search can filter history by date, app, window title, or browser URL and return screenshots and audio clips with extracted text. A visual timeline lets users review screen history and play audio from a chosen period. By default, captures, extracted text, and transcriptions stay in a local SQLite database rather than being sent to external servers. screenpipe also offers a localhost REST API, a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK, and an MCP server. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with no mobile app. The free plan covers one device; Basic costs $21 a month billed annually.
