What is screenpipe?

screenpipe records your screen, audio and app activity on your own computer so you can search anything you have seen or heard. AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT can use that history through its MCP server, REST API or local database, to recap your day, draft follow-ups or map repeated work you could automate. Raw history stays on your device by default, and the source code is on GitHub. The free plan runs on one device, and paid plans add full history and sync.

Pros: what screenpipe does well

  • Search everything you have seen or heard on your computer
  • Works with Claude, ChatGPT and other AI tools through MCP
  • History stays local by default

Cons: where it falls short

  • Uses a lot of storage (about 30 GB a month by default, configurable)
  • Full history needs a paid plan

Who screenpipe is for

Knowledge workers who want their AI assistant to know what they worked on, without uploading their screen to the cloud.

Who can skip it

People uncomfortable with continuous screen and audio capture, or with low disk space.
