what developers use screenpipe for
- code search across time — find that code snippet you saw in a PR review last week, even if you closed the tab
- meeting recall — search what was said in standups, design reviews, or pair programming sessions
- context for AI coding — give Cursor, Claude Code, or Cline memory of what’s on your screen right now and what you worked on earlier
- automated workflows — pipes that auto-track time in Toggl, sync daily activity to Obsidian, or generate standup reports

quick start
- download screenpipe
- add the MCP server to your coding tool:
- ask your AI assistant: “what was I working on in the last hour?” or “find the code snippet I saw in that PR review”
example prompts
once screenpipe is connected to your coding assistant:- “find the error message I saw in the terminal 30 minutes ago”
- “what did we discuss in the standup about the auth refactor?”
- “show me the API endpoint I was looking at in the browser”
- “summarize what I worked on today for my standup”
automate with pipes
pipes are scheduled AI agents that run on your screen data. developers use them for:- time tracking — auto-log coding time to Toggl based on active apps
- daily journals — sync screen activity to Obsidian
- standup reports — generate daily summaries of what you worked on
