Screenpipe SDK · for builders
Screen capture as a library.
Embed Screenpipe's capture engine in your Electron, Tauri, or native app. Cross-platform screen + audio + OCR + accessibility capture — without burning 18 months on OS edge cases.
Building screen capture is a tar pit.
Different OS permissions. Audio routing. Accessibility APIs that change every year. DRM edge cases. macOS vs Windows vs Linux. Sleep/wake cycles eating CPU. PII.
We've been shipping it for 18 months across 200K+ installs. License the capture engine and build what actually differentiates your product.
What you get.
Drop-in capture engine
Bundle Screenpipe with your app. Exposes a local HTTP API; call from any language — TypeScript, Python, Rust, Swift. We handle the lifecycle.
Cross-platform, production-hardened
macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows x64 + ARM. Accessibility API for fast OCR-less capture. Audio routing handled. Battery-aware.
Local-first by design
Data never leaves the device unless you opt in. ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption at rest. 27-pattern PII detection built in.
Commercial embedding license
Priority support, SLA, roadmap input, dedicated engineer. White-label options available under OEM.
Who embeds Screenpipe.
- 01Workflow and agent startups — capture what users do, find automation candidates, recommend agents. (e.g. Worktrace AI, building on Screenpipe in production.)
- 02Data companies — building computer-use datasets for labs. Every screen session becomes labeled trajectory data.
- 03Enterprise productivity tools — memory, meeting notes, CRM auto-capture, time tracking. Build the intelligence; skip the capture layer.
- 04Internal ops teams — embed in custom tools for workflow mapping, training data, knowledge capture across employee devices.
