Story

A Show HN project captures every screenshot and runs a local vision model over it to build a private, searchable visual memory of your screen activity. It's a concrete example of the on-device multimodal trend, "rewind"-style recall without cloud inference. If you're weighing local versus API vision pipelines, this is a working reference for the privacy-preserving path.
