Could you build this?

No Continuous local multimodal recording of screen, microphone, and audio (like Rewind.ai) requires low-level OS capture hooks, hardware-accelerated video/audio compression, and continuous OCR/ASR with local vector indexing.

What it would actually take: A production implementation requires native OS API bindings (such as macOS ScreenCaptureKit and CoreAudio, or Windows Graphics Capture) running background capture pipelines with hardware encoding (VideoToolbox/NVENC). The raw streams must be fed into local transcription models (Whisper.cpp) and OCR engines (Apple Vision or Tesseract), indexed into an embedded SQLite/vector database with rigorous memory, battery, and disk storage management. This necessitates senior native systems programming and edge ML optimization expertise.
