capturing everything

You can't remember everything you heard

Important information comes through audio constantly — meetings, calls, tutorials, podcasts. Most of it is lost.

01

Zoom calls end and you can't remember the key decisions

02

Someone shares a URL or number on a call — you didn't catch it

03

Watching a tutorial and want to find that one tip later

04

No easy way to record and search through system audio on Mac

05

Existing transcription tools require manual recording start/stop

Always-on audio capture with local AI transcription

screenpipe continuously captures both your microphone and system audio, transcribes everything using local AI (Whisper), and indexes it for search. No manual recording needed.

System + mic audio

Captures both what you say and what you hear — system audio from meetings, videos, music, and your mic input.

AI transcription

Whisper-based local transcription. Accurate across accents and languages. No cloud API needed.

Searchable audio history

Search through weeks of transcribed audio. 'What did Sarah say about the deadline?' returns the exact moment.

Speaker identification

Distinguishes between speakers. Filter search results by who said what.
