litepipe · Fully local memory to your agents

An agent session open in the terminal, showing what it worked on recently — “What did I have the agent doing?”

WSaid

You told him the invoice would go out today

“What did I promise Marco?”

A work thread on WhatsApp Web, with the decision buried in it — “What did we agree in that thread?”

A video call with everyone on screen, and the transcription panel open — “Who else was on that call?”

A spreadsheet with a row of totals selected, from a window you had open — “What was that number I saw?”

A lecture video paused on a whiteboard, from the tab you had open — “What was on that whiteboard?”

A paper open in a browser tab, on the page with the diagram — “What did that paper say?”

AKept

An internal tool with no API, read straight off the screen

“And it is in there too.”

THeard

Ana: before Friday, not next week

“Who said Friday?”

Everything you have seen, said and heard

Gather your peripheral context as you work, so your agents understand what you have actually been doing and act on that context.

Peripheral context connected to your agents, locally

Everything you saw, said and heard stays in one file on your Mac. Your own AI reads it right there, on the account you already pay for. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing leaves the machine.

“Holy shit. I can give my agents persistent context of everything I do, without sending anything to a third party cloud.”

You point your AI at the layer once. After that it can look things up in there, the same way it opens a file.

Reading the archive on this Mac

What did we decide about the pricing?

Six hours went to the deploy, and it failed twice before it went out.

Quarterly review at eleven. Ana took the onboarding copy.

You told Marco the invoice would go out that afternoon.

It never went.

Nothing left this Mac

Peripheral context awareness

Your agent starts already knowing what you did

Get work done without AIsplaining and copying and pasting the obvious. litepipe knows what you have in mind.

Nothing is sampled on a timer. A moment is written when something happens, and it carries enough about itself that you can find it again a month later.

Open source Free Fully local

Bring any AI. Only you own your memories.

litepipe is free and open source under MIT, and no one makes money out of what is in it. Not a lab, not a vendor, not us. Bring whichever model you already pay for: it reads what you ask for, on your own account, and the file never leaves this machine.

Read the source, and check every line of that

~/.litepipe/db.sqlite One file, on your machine. They read from it, none of them holds it. and it never leaves this Mac

No setup

No setup burden.

01Two minutes

You install it like any Mac app.

Open the disk image, drag it across, launch it. Grant screen recording and accessibility when macOS asks.

02Once

You connect your agent.

Point Claude Code, Cursor or your own client at the archive over MCP. One connection, and it can read.

03Then nothing

You never think about it again.

It reads every monitor while you work, and the archive fills itself.

Before you download

Do not download this if

Four reasons this is the wrong tool for you. Better to know now than after twenty gigabytes.

You are on Windows, or you want it on your phone.

macOS only, on Apple silicon. There is no Windows build and no mobile app, and neither is planned this quarter.

You want your meeting notes written for you.

You get a transcript with speakers and times. No summary, no action items, no owners. The transcript is real and the document on top of it does not exist yet.

You need the archive encrypted at rest without opening a terminal.

The encryption is built and works: a password locks the whole archive from the command line. It has no switch in the app yet, so if you will not use a terminal, treat the archive as readable by anyone holding the laptop.

Your employer needs a certified vendor.

There is no SOC 2 here, no auditor and no company to sign a contract. What there is instead is the source, under MIT, and every claim on this page written so you can check it. That is a different kind of answer, and it is not always the one being asked for.

Who ends up holding it

How litepipe is different

Open source, free, fully local. The other two hold your memory and decide who may read it. This one leaves the file with you, under MIT, and no one can put it behind a price later.

Frequently asked questions

Anything else, audit the source.

What is litepipe?

One app on your Mac that keeps a record of what you saw, said and heard while you worked, in a single file on your own disk. Your own AI reads that file and answers out of it, so you stop re-explaining context you have already lived through.

Where does the archive live?

In one SQLite file at ~/.litepipe/db.sqlite, on your machine. There is no account to create and nothing is uploaded. You can open it with any SQLite client, copy it, carry it to another Mac, or delete it, without asking anyone.

Which AI can read it?

Any client that speaks MCP, including Claude Code and Cursor, or a script you write yourself. You bring your own model and your own key. litepipe ships neither and has no opinion about which provider you pay.

What does it actually capture?

The screen on every monitor while you work, and audio transcribed on the machine itself and split by who was speaking. Text comes from the accessibility layer of each window first, and from OCR for whatever that layer does not expose. Nothing runs on a timer: a moment is written when something actually happens.

What about things I would rather not keep?

Private and incognito browser windows are ignored outright. A redaction pass runs over the text and the images as the archive is written. Anything else you would rather not keep, you delete, because the file is yours and nothing was copied anywhere else.

Why is it free, and how do you make money?

It is free because a record of your own work is not something anyone should have to rent. litepipe is MIT licensed and stays that way: free now, free later, no paid tier, no seat count, no feature held back for a plan you have to reach.

How can I contribute?

The source is on GitHub under MIT. Take one of the open issues, the ones marked good first issue and help wanted are the place to start, or open a new one. A bug report that names your macOS version and your Mac is worth more than most patches, because the hard part here is what happens on machines we cannot see.

Everything you have seen, said and heard, starting today

Free, open source and fully local. Nothing to connect, no account to create, and no one to ask for your memory back.
