screenpipe is a local-first work-memory tool for individuals, teams, and AI agents. On macOS, Windows, and Linux, it continuously captures accessibility text, screen content, and audio transcripts into a searchable history stored on the device by default. A local REST API, MCP server, CLI, and SQLite access can supply real work context to tools such as Claude and Codex, while trigger-based workflows can create meeting notes, follow-ups, and SOPs. Cloud AI, sync, and connectors are opt-in; the code is source-available under the Screenpipe Commercial License.
