screenpipe turns your computer into a personal AI that knows everything you've done. Record. Search. Automate. All local, all private, all yours. Your AI finally knows what you're doing
Hey PH 👋
I built screenpipe because I was losing my mind. 20k notes in obsidian, obsessive tracking, but my screen was still a black hole.
So i built 24/7 screen & mic recording over a weekend. A user posted on HN about us. it blew up.
Your AI finally knows what you're doing. Instead of copy pasting context across ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Opencode, Pi, Gemini, etc. they just know everything you're up to.
It record everything, your can search with AI, scroll back your screen history, automate your workflows. The best part is that the data stays on your computer and it's open source, auditable.
What would make you use this daily?
My dream use case for this would be a thinking companion. I do a ton of stuff, but don't take enough time to reflect (even though I reflect ~45m a day, it's not deep enough). My dream version of this is something that watched me like this all day, thought about it really deeply, and at some interval, gave me the 3-4 hour version of reflections that were inspired from watching me, as if i went on a hike every single day, but it goes on the hike for me. Deeper changes to product I can make that solve recent problems I've been having, changes to habits that might be especially efficient, ponderings of what my recent conversations might mean for the market opportunity in general I'm working on.
(ps - i have no idea what "score with friends" is and how to get it tf off my profile)
Congrats on the 2nd launch! I’ve been looking at Screenpipe through the lens of a Product Manager—specifically for capturing those raw, unpolished moments during user research sessions. Having a locally searchable record of everything could be a game-changer for synthesis. Since this version focuses more on AI agent integration, how do you see it helping non-technical users (like PMs) to query their recorded context without needing to touch the CLI?
Congrats! Seems cool. How does data privacy work? Recordings etc stay local?
