To make screen activity searchable, set up ScreenPipe to capture OCR text from approved work apps, creating an ambient work memory layer. This enables recalling past work, summarizing sessions, and tracking project context without manual notes.

ScreenPipe handles privacy by applying a default blocklist that prevents capturing OCR data from browsers, personal apps, banking, and social media. This privacy-first setup ensures only approved work applications are recorded.

Configure data retention and cleanup for ambient work memory during the ScreenPipe setup process by setting automatic deletion rules and local storage limits. This ensures captured screen OCR data remains manageable over time.

Yes, you can use ambient intelligence to summarize your work session. By capturing OCR text from screen activity, the system builds a searchable memory database that allows you to query and summarize your work history.

Yes, beta access is required to set up ScreenPipe for work memory. The setup process includes a beta check before proceeding with local configuration changes, privacy filtering, retention settings, and startup verification.

Verify your ScreenPipe health check is running correctly through the startup verification step in the setup process. This confirms that ambient intelligence capture, OCR, and privacy filters are actively functioning on your machine.
