Show HN: Littlebird – Screenreading is the missing link in AI

Looks cool! Reminds me of Rewind but better. (edit: for completion)

Hi all, I'm Alex, one of the founders at Littlebird. AMA!

Littlebird is a desktop app that remembers everything you’ve been working on. Meetings, messages, docs, browsing, etc. It helps you stay focused, prioritize, recall, and move projects forward. Unlike any product on the market today, Littlebird uses screenreading to understand all the text on screen, for all applications, without any cumbersome setup. It understands who said what, when, and keeps track of your projects in great detail. It uses that context to build a rich understanding of your life: who matters to you, what you're working on, and what you care about this week and this year. It extends your working memory and your capacity to think and create. You control what Littlebird sees, what it remembers, and what it forgets. We designed Littlebird to be private, secure, and user-controlled by default.

tried this last week. typed three words, got back a full breakdown that pulled from three different tools i'd had open. didn't brief it once. Good tool. Any plans for Windows ? It's my main workstation.

If you thought Slack logs were damning in discovery, wait til someone suing or prosecuting you figures out that everything you typed and looked at, etc., is in the cloud

Is there any chance you might support a local-first version of this in the future? I've been interested in apps like this and Littlebird in particular seems very attractive. But I'm loathe to essentially send screenshots/summaries/etc of all my activity to a cloud solution, regardless of any claims you make about encryption. Any mistake you make could be catastrophic for me, which thoroughly dominates any upside to using your product. It's a non-starter.

Screenreading is a smart way to solve the integration problem. Every other tool in this space makes you connect each app one by one and you're always waiting for them to support your workflow. This just watches what you watch. Feels obvious in hindsight - cool stuff

Isn't this a lot like Microsoft's Windows 11 Recall feature that they got a lot of flak for?
