What is Pensieve AI?

Pensieve is a privacy-focused passive recording project. It can automatically record screen content, build intelligent indices, and provide a convenient web interface to retrieve historical records.

This project draws heavily from two other projects: one called Rewind and another called Windows Recall. However, unlike both of them, Pensieve allows you to have complete control over your data, avoiding the transfer of data to untrusted data centers.

Features:

  • Simple installation: just install dependencies via pip to get started
  • Complete data control: all data is stored locally, allowing for full local operation and self-managed data processing
  • Full-text and vector search support
  • Integrates with Ollama, using it as the machine learning engine for Pensieve
  • Compatible with any OpenAI API models (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, vLLM, etc.)
  • Supports Mac and Windows (Linux support is in development)
  • Extensible functionality through plugins
