Library to build personalized AI powered by what you've seen, said, or heard. Works with Ollama. Alternative to Rewind.ai. Open. Secure. You own your data. Rust.
We are shipping daily, make suggestions, post bugs, give feedback.

Building a reliable stream of audio and screenshot data, where a user simply clicks a button and the script runs in the background 24/7, collecting and extracting data from screen and audio input/output, can be frustrating.

There are numerous use cases that can be built on top of this layer. To simplify life for other developers, we decided to solve this non-trivial problem. It's still in its early stages, but it works end-to-end. We're working on this full-time and would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

There are multiple ways to install screenpipe:

• as a CLI (continue reading), for rather technical users
• as a paid desktop app with 1 year updates, priority support, and priority features
• as a free forever desktop app (but you need to build it yourself). We're 100% OSS.
• as a free forever desktop app - by sending a PR (example) (or offer free app to a friend)
• as a Rust or WASM library (documentation WIP)
• as a business - check use cases and DM louis

we invest 80% of the paid app revenue in bounties, send PR, make money!

think of screenpipe like a DAO, but without crypto

This is the instructions to install the command line interface.

Struggle to get it running? I'll install it with you in a 15 min call.

You can use terminal commands to query and view your data as shown below. Also, we recommend Tableplus.com to view the database, it has a free tier.

Here's a pseudo code to illustrate how to use screenpipe, to summarize meetings:

// 1h ago
const startDate = "<some time 1h ago..>"
// 10m ago
const endDate = "<some time 10m ago..>"

// get all the screen & mic data from roughly last hour 
const results = fetchScreenpipe(startDate, endDate)

// send it to an LLM and ask for a summary
const summary = fetchOllama("{results} create a summary from these transcriptions")
// or const summary = fetchOpenai(results)

// add the meeting summary to your notes
addToNotion(summary)
// or your favourite note taking app

Or thousands of other usages of all your screen & mic data! Check examples, screenpipes makes it easy to write plugins in JS for example that runs directly in the Rust code through Deno engine.
