What Screenpipe does
- Captures work context through screen text, audio transcription, app names, and browser URLs, subject to your recording and privacy settings
- Stores recordings locally in
~/.screenpipe/by default. Cloud transcription, AI providers, sync, and connected apps can send selected data elsewhere; check privacy data flow. - AI-powered search — find anything you’ve seen or heard via natural language or API
- Scheduled tasks — scheduled AI agents that summarize your day, track time, sync to Obsidian, and more (browse scheduled tasks) — click Scheduled tasks in the sidebar to install
- MCP server — give Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other AI tools memory of your screen (setup)
- Connect your apps — dozens of integrations: Slack, Notion, Google Calendar, Obsidian, Toggl, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoom, PostHog, Sentry, and more (connections) — configure in Settings → Connections
