Question 1

What is screenpipe?

Accepted Answer

screenpipe is a local-first, private AI agent memory that captures what you've seen, heard, and done, giving AI agents the context and information they never had, so they never start from scratch. It records your screen and mic on your own machine so you can search work history, ask AI what happened, or wire pipes that automate meeting notes, CRM updates, and daily digests. Core capture and search run locally; optional cloud and team features are configured by you.

Question 2

What are pipes?

Accepted Answer

A pipe is a markdown file (pipe.md) with a prompt and a trigger (meeting ended, PR merged, daily at 6pm). An AI agent reads your screen and audio memory and executes the instructions, writing notes to your notebook, updating Linear tickets, posting to HubSpot. Install from the store with one click, or write your own in minutes.

Question 3

How much does screenpipe cost?

Accepted Answer

Basic starts at $25/month. Business is $50/seat/month for power users and small teams. Larger teams and enterprise deployments (managed rollout, SSO, security review) are quoted on a call. Existing lifetime licenses remain valid.

Question 4

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

screenpipe is local-first. In local-only mode, recordings, transcripts, and pipe data live in a local SQLite database on your device. Data movement depends on whether you enable sync, cloud AI, exports, connectors, or team workflows.

Question 5

What platforms does screenpipe support?

Accepted Answer

macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux.

Question 6

How is screenpipe different from Zapier or n8n?

Accepted Answer

Zapier and n8n connect apps to apps. screenpipe connects your actual work to automations. It sees your screen, hears your audio, understands context. Your CRM updates after a call because screenpipe was listening, not because you clicked a Zap button.

Question 7

Can my company deploy screenpipe across a team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. screenpipe Enterprise adds MDM deployment (Intune, SCCM), SSO/SAML, an admin dashboard, and team workflows like SOP generation and agent evals, while capture stays local-first on every endpoint. See screenpipe.com/enterprise for pricing and the enterprise deployment guide for rollout.

Question 8

Why does AI keep forgetting my work context?

Accepted Answer

Most AI tools have no memory between sessions. Every chat starts blank. screenpipe solves the AI memory problem by capturing everything you do locally and giving AI agents long-term memory of your actual work history. No more re-explaining your project from scratch.

Question 9

Is screenpipe open source?

Accepted Answer

Screenpipe is source-available under the Screenpipe Commercial License. The capture engine is public on GitHub at github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe, so you can inspect the code that touches your data, build it from source, or run the CLI headless.

Question 10

Does screenpipe give Claude Code long-term memory?

Accepted Answer

Yes. screenpipe works as a searchable context layer for Claude Code via MCP. Claude Code can query captured screen text, terminal output, documentation, and meeting transcripts, subject to your recording and sharing settings. Install the screenpipe MCP server to use that work history in a session. Learn more at screenpipe.com/integrations/claude.

Question 11

What is AI context memory, and how does screenpipe provide it?

Accepted Answer

AI context memory is the persistent store of work history that AI agents draw on to make accurate, relevant decisions. screenpipe captures your screen and audio locally and makes that history available to any MCP-compatible AI agent, giving it rich, up-to-date context memory of your actual work.

Question 12

Is screenpipe an AI context layer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. screenpipe functions as a local-first AI context layer. It captures what you see, hear, and do, stores it in a private on-device database, and exposes it to AI agents via MCP. Any connected agent gets continuously updated, searchable context of your real work environment.
