What to know▼

How it works: Uses one local Gemma model on-device for screen vision, audio transcription, chat, and reasoning; captures only when content changes and lets you search or chat with your screen history in plain English.
What's different: Compared against Microsoft Recall (needs $1000+ hardware) and Screenpipe (needs separate OCR + Whisper + external LLM) — this runs one local model for everything.
Pricing: MIT licensed, pip install.
Watch out: Requires a 4GB GPU to run.
