FAQPage Schema

How do I search my local screen history and audio transcriptions?▼

To search local screen history and audio transcriptions, query the Screenpipe dataset to retrieve OCR text, audio transcriptions, and UI events. You must specify a start_time parameter and can filter by app_name, content_type, or window_name.

What's the best way to recall on-screen app usage from yesterday?▼

The best way to recall on-screen app usage is to search historical UI events and OCR data via the local Screenpipe API. Query parameters like start_time, end_time, and app_name reconstruct past activity without manually reviewing footage.

Do I need the local Screenpipe API running to query OCR and UI events?▼

Yes, you need the local Screenpipe API running at http://localhost:3030 to query OCR and UI events. The Skill searches the local Screenpipe dataset directly and requires this endpoint to be available to return results.

Can I filter local screen and audio searches by specific application?▼

You can filter local screen and audio searches by a specific application using the app_name parameter. The API also supports filtering by content_type, window_name, focused status, and time range to narrow down results.

Why does my screen history search require a start_time parameter?▼

Your screen history search requires a start_time parameter because the local Screenpipe API mandates it to define the temporal scope of the query. Without a start_time, the API cannot bound the search for OCR, audio, and UI event data.

How does querying local screen text and audio data work?▼

Querying local screen text and audio data works by sending a search request to the Screenpipe API, which matches your query term against indexed OCR text, audio transcriptions, and UI events to return relevant historical activity.
