What Screenpipe is
Records screen content, app text, browser context and audio on macOS, Windows or Linux, reading text through accessibility APIs with OCR as a fallback and transcribing audio with Whisper on the device, so you can search what you saw or heard. Through its MCP server or local API, Claude, Codex and other AI tools can draw on that history to write summaries and follow-ups or run scheduled workflows. History stays on the device by default, with optional cloud AI and encrypted sync. The free plan covers recent work on one device; paid plans add full history and, on Business, device sync and team seats.
