With screenmind you can keep a track of your timeline , how much time you spent on what..search any screenshot with any text on it.. and the coolest thing, you can chat with your screen history, like what did alex texted me on discord or did i received any mail from Microsoft, if it was on your screen , you can prompt it in the cha. and also you can make automations on top of it, like send me my whole day report on slack(it has integrations )..you can also write automation either though plain English for not so coders or use the python for devs who want to deep dive, and you can save voice memos(with a screenshot) with just a hotkey, and get you meeting transcribed and summarised(auto detects meeting)
the hardest part which i faced was keep running screenmind as a background service it would not have been not hard if chat feature didn't existed, as running local model requires compute ..and keep analyzing screenshots continuously will keep all the resouces hogged up for that i came up with a perceptual has cache .. the three tier cache system reduces inference upto 40% for an average user(which is me)..and to reduce the inference time more i came up with three modes..fast balanced and accurate..where the tradeoff is between time and accuracy
for now i use it daily on my 4gb gtx 1650 with fast mode, works pretty fine also it would be much faster on high end machine , it also has a mcp server so you can just ask claude desktop/cursor about the bug you saw in morning..
supports windows/mac/Linux
being upfront about rough edges , it is not extensively tested on mac and installation has some friction , for which i m working on one click installer thing
(reposting- i put up an earlier version a few months back, comments got flagged cuz of new account so couldn't reply to any )

curious about anyone have idea for how to approach multi monitor support
Privacy-first Recall alternative running Gemma 4 vision entirely on-device.
Runs multimodal screen memory on 4GB VRAM while Microsoft Recall requires high-end NPU.
Computer vision + Playwright automation for form filling, but $49 price ties to crowded category.
Local Gemma 4 vision agent critiques UI continuously without sending screenshots to the cloud.
The product packs sensible, practical features — device frames, element selectors, dark-mode capture, ad-blocking, and an OG-friendly public-key cache flow — into one API call and a clean demo. The AI 'cleanup' and performance claims (sub-3s renders, <50ms cached) are interesting selling points but the space is crowded; the real winner will be reliability, price, and how well the AI cleanup handles messy pages.
Yet another screenshot-to-code tool when v0 and Builder.io already dominate this space.
