I thought this was a serious take for a second (until I looked at microsoft_recall_linux.exe - lol). Having said that, I would actually be keen for something similar that is both open-source and totally local so that I could use the output as AI fodder (for a local inference model of course).

https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe is promising, however it has some issues with my setup. I'm personally just dumping all the data with ffmpeg + x11grab, will figure out what I want to do with it later

Same.

I have a terrible memory so a totally local ai that knows everything I do would actually be useful.

That's for the fancy GUI. Basic "capture and dump to disk" is supported on Linux with the cli version
