What Screenpipe does
AI memory for your computer: it records your screen, audio and meetings locally (on macOS, Windows and Linux) so you can search anything you saw or heard and give AI tools like Claude and Codex your work history as context via a local API and MCP server. It also spots recurring workflows (e.g. invoice reconciliation) and turns them into automations or agents; there's an Enterprise 'workflow mining' offering for teams.
Good for
- Search past meetings, documents and screens ('where did I see that?')
- Meeting summaries and follow-ups grounded in what actually happened
- Find repetitive tasks worth automating and hand context to Claude/Codex/n8n/Zapier agents
Try this in 10 minutes
- Search past meetings, documents and screens ('where did I see that?'). Use the free plan: pick one real example from your own business and try just that.
- Meeting summaries and follow-ups grounded in what actually happened. Put the result next to how you do it today. Is it faster, cheaper or better?
- Find repetitive tasks worth automating and hand context to Claude/Codex/n8n/Zapier agents. Note what you had to fix by hand before you'd show it to a customer.

Honest take
Some claims not independently checked
- Interesting for 'AI memory' and workflow-discovery content; trial on a personal machine with strict exclusions before any client or team rollout.
- Described as source-available.
- Privacy: it continuously records screen and audio (including meetings), so get consent from people in recorded calls and check recording/data-protection rules (e.g.
- UK GDPR, two-party consent laws); raw history stays local by default and you can exclude apps, windows and URLs and redact sensitive fields on-device; team/enterprise deployments need clear employee notice and policy (SSO, MDM, retention, device controls on Enterprise).
- Needs ~30 GB storage/month (configurable retention) and 600 MB–4 GB RAM.
What we couldn’t verify
- Customer counts and time savings on the site are vendor claims.
