ScreenPipe is an innovative platform that transforms your desktop into an AI-powered app store by continuously recording your screen and microphone activity 24/7, all processed locally. It uses minimal resources (10% CPU, 4 GB RAM, 15 GB/month storage) and indexes the data into an API, enabling developers to build AI applications with full user context.

Key Features:

• 100% Local Processing: All data is processed on your device, ensuring privacy and security.
• Developer-Friendly: Developers can create desktop-native apps using Next.js within a sandboxed Rust environment via the "pipe" plugin system.
• Monetization: Publish and monetize plugins through the ScreenPipe store with subscription models.
• Native OCR Support: Includes Apple and Windows Native OCR capabilities.
• Cross-Platform: Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

ScreenPipe also supports community contributions and offers templates for building apps with Tauri or Electron. The platform has gained significant traction, trending on GitHub and Hacker News, and is backed by Founders, Inc. Future updates include financial automations and integrations with tools like Obsidian.
