screenpipe

Screenpipe runs in the background on your machine, recording your screen and microphone around the clock. Everything stays local. No cloud upload, no third-party storage. When you need to know what was said in a meeting last Tuesday, or who asked about pricing last month, you ask an AI and it answers from your own captured history.

It's a direct alternative to tools like Rewind.ai but built on a fully open, self-hostable foundation. The recording and transcription happen on-device, and the AI queries run against your local memory store.

What it captures and does:

• Continuous screen recording across all apps, stored and indexed locally
• Microphone transcription for meetings, calls, and any spoken audio
• AI querying against your full history using models like Claude, Qwen, or local options via Ollama
• Pipes – lightweight automations that trigger on events like a meeting ending, then write notes, update a CRM, or post to Slack
• 48+ integrations including Linear, GitHub, HubSpot, Notion, Google Docs, and Zoom

The Pipes system is where it gets practical. You write a short instruction file describing what should happen when a trigger fires. A meeting ends, the pipe transcribes it, summarizes it into bullet points and action items, and pushes the result to wherever you want. No manual copy-paste, no switching apps. Tools like or handle meeting notes in isolation; Screenpipe connects that output directly into the rest of your workflow.
