ScreenMind captures your screen, understands it with a single local Gemma 4 model, and turns it into a searchable, chat-able memory. Now it also transcribes meetings right in your browser (Google Meet, Teams, Zoom), lets you pick your model and quantization from the dashboard, and runs natively on macOS. 100% local, private, open-source — the alternative to Microsoft Recall.

Could you build this?
Partial The chat-over-screen-history UI and local model wrapper are vibe-codeable, but continuous low-overhead native screen capture, on-device inference tuning across hardware, and reliable multi-platform packaging need real systems expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a native capture daemon (ScreenCaptureKit on macOS, DXGI/WGC on Windows) that samples frames and OCRs or captions them, then runs a quantized Gemma through llama.cpp, MLX, or Ollama. Store embeddings in a local vector index such as SQLite with sqlite-vec, and add a browser extension for meeting transcription. The hard parts are keeping CPU/GPU and battery overhead low and making retrieval over months of captures accurate, which needs someone who has shipped on-device ML and native desktop apps.
