Screenpipe records computer activity so people can revisit past work and give AI agents context from screens and conversations. Capture history stays on your device by default.

  • Search and replay. Search screen text and audio transcripts, filter by app, browser URL or date, and revisit results as screenshots, audio clips or a visual timeline.
  • Meeting capture. Record microphone and system audio across apps such as Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, with local Whisper Large-V3-Turbo transcription or optional cloud transcription through Deepgram.
  • Agent context and workflows. Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients to work history; scheduled agents can draft meeting notes, daily recaps and time breakdowns.
  • Capture controls. Exclude apps, windows and URLs, redact sensitive fields on device, and restrict which captured data each agent can access.

Screenpipe runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, including Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and recommends 8 GB RAM. Linux capture depends on the distribution, desktop environment and permissions. A local API and MCP server expose history to connected tools. An enterprise workspace adds device, identity, policy, storage and audit management.

It's source-available under the Screenpipe Commercial License. Personal, non-commercial use is permitted; commercial use requires a license. Cloud AI, transcription, sync, integrations, exports and enterprise storage can send data off-device.
