Screengrep 1.0
Search what happened on your Mac.
Screengrep builds a private, searchable history from the capture signals you choose: screens, local audio transcripts, app and window context, browser pages, Calendar, terminal activity, and more.
macOS 26 or later · Apple Silicon · Developer ID signed and Apple notarized
Browse captured moments visually. On-device OCR makes visible text searchable while performance profiles bound display count, resolution, and frame rate.
Optionally record microphone or system audio and transcribe it locally. Results depend on source quality, the selected model, and actual signal coverage.
Add app, window, privacy-filtered browser, Calendar, terminal, file, presence, and optional focused-window Accessibility context.
Review evidence-led activity blocks or let a compatible AI client query the bundled, read-only local MCP server.
Local first, with visible boundaries.
Version 1.0 has no Screengrep account, advertising SDK, remote analytics, or enabled cloud-sync transport. Captured content and the local search index are not uploaded to a Screengrep server.
Capture starts only after the first-run review. Each signal has an explicit setting, the app can be paused at any time, and excluded apps are omitted at acquisition. Coverage and confidence are shown when evidence is incomplete.
A configured MCP client can request local data through the read-only server. That client's own privacy and network behavior still applies.
