- Windows users retracing past research or work sessions
- Worth noticing
- It explicitly declines to generate answers: results are tied to screen frames, with no language model or outbound request.
Field notes
The capture loop is presented as four stages: Win32 screen capture, background Tesseract OCR with per-word geometry, chunking, and indexing in SQLite FTS5 plus vector embeddings. Users can query exact words or rough meaning, scrub a timeline, and reopen the original frame beside its extracted text. The site says sensitive strings are removed from both images and the search index; the searchable demo runs on sample frames.
