Screenpipe captures your screen and audio by default. But you can also connect your apps directly — this gives scheduled tasks and AI agents richer, structured data from the source.
For the complete registry, auth patterns, multi-account examples, and proxy test calls, use the connection reference.

​
How to connect apps

Open Screenpipe → click Settings (gear icon, bottom of sidebar) → scroll to Data & Privacy → click Connections. You’ll see all available integrations. Click one to configure credentials or start an OAuth flow.

​
Finding API keys & credentials

For integrations that require API keys or other credentials, Screenpipe provides help links next to each field:
  • Look for the ? icon next to the field label (e.g., “API Key”)
  • Hover over it to see “Learn how to find your API Key for this integration”
  • Click Open guide → to jump directly to that app’s settings page
This takes you straight to where you need to be — no more hunting through docs. OAuth integrations (Slack, Notion, Google Calendar, etc.) skip the API key step entirely — just click the big “Connect with [App]” button and approve access in your browser.
Some scheduled tasks require specific connections. When you install a scheduled task that needs a connection (like Notion or Toggl), Screenpipe will prompt you to configure it automatically.

​
Multi-account support

You can connect multiple accounts for the same app using instance names. For example, connect both your work and personal Notion:
  • notion:work — your company workspace
  • notion:personal — your personal workspace
This is configured in the connections UI when adding a new integration.

​
Use connections from scheduled tasks

Connections can expose a local proxy endpoint so scheduled tasks can call third-party APIs without putting secrets in the prompt:
See connection reference and scheduled task debugging for safe proxy patterns.

​
AI tool connections (MCP)

These are different from app connections — they let you use Screenpipe’s data inside external AI tools:
You can use both app connections AND AI tool connections at the same time. Connect Google Calendar + Obsidian as data sources, AND connect Claude Desktop to query everything.

​
Why connect apps?

Without connections, Screenpipe captures what’s visible on your screen. With connections, scheduled tasks get structured data directly from the source: This makes scheduled tasks significantly more accurate and useful.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Google OAuth: “app isn’t verified” or “unsafe”

When connecting Google Calendar or Google Docs, you may see a warning that says the app is “unverified” or “unsafe.” this is normal — Screenpipe is a local app and Google requires additional verification steps for third-party apps. How to proceed:
  1. On the Google warning screen, click Advanced (bottom-left corner)
  2. Click Go to Screenpipe (unsafe) to continue with the connection
  3. Screenpipe will not be marked unsafe once you verify the connection — this is a standard OAuth security flow
If the page closes or doesn’t load, check that:
  • You have internet connectivity
  • No browser extensions are blocking the OAuth redirect
  • Your firewall isn’t blocking localhost:3030 (the local callback endpoint)

​
Connection fails silently

If a connection appears to connect but then disappears:
  • Check that Pro is active (OAuth requires a Pro subscription)
  • Verify the app credentials are correct by disconnecting and reconnecting
  • Check app permissions in the original service (e.g., Notion workspace settings, Slack workspace admin console) — you may need to re-approve access

​
”Not connected” error in scheduled tasks

If a scheduled task reports that a connection isn’t available:
  • Confirm the connection is active in Settings → Connections (green dot or “connected” status)
  • For multi-account setups, verify the scheduled task is using the correct instance name (e.g., notion:work vs notion:personal)
  • Try reconnecting: disconnect and reconnect the app
  • Check the scheduled task debugging guide for troubleshooting task-specific issues

​
Privacy & security

  • OAuth connections use standard OAuth flows — Screenpipe stores tokens locally in your secure store when available
  • CLI-like environments can fall back to local ~/.screenpipe/connections.json
  • Connected app data stays on your device
  • You can disconnect any app at any time in Settings → Connections
  • Screenpipe never sends your connected app data to our servers
  • OAuth connections require a Pro subscription
