Memos is a privacy-focused passive recording project. It can automatically record screen content, build intelligent indices, and provide a convenient web interface to retrieve historical records.

This project draws heavily from two other projects: one called Rewind and another called Windows Recall. However, unlike both of them, Memos allows you to have complete control over your data, avoiding the transfer of data to untrusted data centers.

Everything you ever do with your computer while using this is subpoenable. To quote Dick Jones: "He's a cyborg, you idiot! He recorded every word you said. His memory's admissible as evidence!"

I gave a bad name "memos" for the project. But there is a great open source project named "memos" over there. So I quickly changed the name to "Pensieve". Sorry for giving such confusing...

I deleted Rewinds over the weekend, after I noticed it had eaten 20gb of storage.

I hadn’t used it since installing it. So that came as a surprise.

I then tried using it, and couldn’t get it to find things I knew were in my history. (Basic keywords match)

So I deleted it.

I like the idea of this app. It ticks all the boxes. But I haven’t found any value on this category of app yet.

Ah, I see the commit that renamed the repo[1] because the title says "Memos" and the URL says "/memos" but the repo was different. I similarly got confused while reading the readme thinking Pensieve was a dependency or something
