The main difference is the product direction. Screenpipe seems focused on continuously giving agents context through APIs, MCP, and skills. Daydream is more narrowly built around answering "what did I do today?" through a timeline you can inspect, replay, search, and turn into a daily digest.

I'm also treating deletion as part of the data model. If you cut a sensitive span, its frames, audio, OCR, transcripts, embeddings, and summaries should be deleted or invalidated too.

Mine is still early and Linux-first. I'm open-sourcing it in case anyone wants to contribute, poke around, or use it as a starting point. It’s built with Tauri, a Rust backend, React/TypeScript, SQLite, GStreamer, Whisper, OCR, and VLM processing.

I genuinely didn’t know you were building this when I started. Apparently personal memory capture is becoming a SaaS category too lol.

Code is here: https://github.com/snackbit/daydream

During normal usage, how often does it try to parse info from the screen capture? Once a minute?

if this doesn't run fully local its a no go for enterprise let alone ordinary users
