screenpipe captures your screen and audio 24/7 and makes it available to AI. here’s everything you can do with it, organized by what you’re trying to accomplish.

​
close your loops

you jump between 10 projects a day. you forget where you left off. screenpipe remembers for you.
  • ask AI: “what was I working on before lunch?” → get the exact file, app, and context
  • ask AI: “what was that API endpoint I was looking at in Chrome yesterday?” → find it instantly
  • run Day Recap pipe: get a daily summary of accomplishments, unfinished work, and what to do next
  • search by time: curl "http://localhost:3030/search?start_time=2026-04-10T09:00:00Z&end_time=2026-04-10T12:00:00Z"
best setup: connect Claude Desktop or Cursor via MCP → ask natural language questions about your screen history.

​
never miss a meeting detail

someone mentioned a deadline in a Zoom call but you weren’t paying attention. screenpipe was.
  • search transcriptions: “what did John say about the deadline?” → find the exact quote
  • install Meeting Intelligence pipe (17 installs): AI summaries enriched with relationship history, screen context, and memories — gets smarter over time
  • speaker identification: screenpipe identifies who said what — label speakers once, recognized forever
  • search by speaker: curl "http://localhost:3030/search?content_type=audio&speaker_name=John"
best setup: enable audio recording in settings → install Meeting Intelligence from the pipe store.

​
track your time automatically

you switch between coding, emails, meetings, and slack all day. screenpipe tracks where your time actually goes.
  • run Time Breakdown pipe: see exactly how many hours you spent in each app
  • install Toggl Time Tracker pipe (17 installs): auto-log time entries based on active apps — no manual tracking
  • productivity score: pipes can calculate focused work time vs. context-switching time
  • by project: AI groups related activities into projects automatically
best setup: install Toggl Time Tracker from the pipe store for automatic tracking, or run Time Breakdown for on-demand analysis.

​
write standups and reports in seconds

your team uses daily standups. screenpipe writes them for you based on what you actually did.
  • run Standup Update pipe: generates “what I did / what I’m doing / blockers” in under 150 words
  • weekly reports: create a custom pipe that summarizes your week
  • share with team: copy-paste the output into Slack, Teams, or Discord
best setup: go to Pipes in the sidebar → install Standup Update → run it every morning before standup.

​
build a personal knowledge base

everything you’ve ever seen on your screen, searchable forever.
  • install Digital Clone pipe (574 installs, most popular): saves and maintains memories of who you are — builds a persistent AI memory
  • install Obsidian Daily Summary pipe (62 installs): writes daily summaries directly into your Obsidian vault
  • install AI Prompt Journal pipe: capture every prompt you send to ChatGPT, Claude, etc.
  • sync iMessages (18 installs), Voice Memos (15 installs), Apple Photos (4 installs) into screenpipe
  • search by app, URL, time range, or speaker: find anything you’ve ever seen or heard
best setup: install Digital Clone + Obsidian Daily Summary from the pipe store.

​
give AI memory of your screen

LLMs are stateless — they don’t know what you were working on 5 minutes ago. screenpipe fixes that.
  • Claude Desktop: ask “what was I working on?” and Claude searches your screen history via MCP
  • Cursor: give Cursor context about what you’ve been coding, what PRs you reviewed, what errors you saw
  • Claude Code: search your screen history from the terminal
  • ChatGPT: use your ChatGPT subscription inside screenpipe’s built-in chat
best setup: add screenpipe MCP to your main AI tool → setup guide.

​
monitor your AI usage

how much time are you actually spending in ChatGPT vs. Claude? are you using AI effectively?
  • run AI Habits pipe: see which AI tools you use, for how long, and for what
  • track prompt patterns: the AI Prompt Journal shows your prompting habits over time
  • identify tool overlap: are you using 3 tools for the same thing?
best setup: run AI Habits pipe weekly.

​
manage relationships

remember everyone you meet, what you discussed, and when to follow up.
  • install Personal CRM pipe (8 installs): automatically builds relationship context from your screen and audio data
  • install Notion CRM Sync pipe (16 installs): auto-detects business calls and syncs contacts, deal stage, and action items to your Notion CRM
  • install Brand Listening pipe (4 installs): monitors topics around your brand based on your screen activity
best setup: install Notion CRM Sync if you use Notion, or Personal CRM for standalone relationship tracking.

​
automate anything

if you can describe it, a pipe can do it. examples of pipes people have built and published:
  • Focus Assistant (38 installs) — detects when you’re distracted and sends a notification
  • Notion CRM Sync (16 installs) — auto-syncs business calls to your Notion CRM
  • Research Rabbit (10 installs) — deep-dives into topics you’re browsing, finds non-obvious insights
  • WisprFlow Sync (9 installs) — syncs voice recordings into screenpipe
or build your own — ask your AI coding tool: “create a screenpipe pipe that [what you want]” — full guide →. browse all pipes in the store →

​
for teams

share pipe configurations, enforce privacy filters, and standardize workflows across your team.
  • share pipes: push pipe configs to your whole team with end-to-end encryption
  • enforce filters: push window/URL ignore lists so the team has consistent privacy rules
  • team standups: everyone runs the same standup pipe, formatted the same way
best setup: teams guide →
