I can't think of any usage for that project other than spying for the employees. Just slightly modify the saving mechanism to send it to the corporate cloud and voila. AI profiling. Perfect for harassment at work and layoffs.
This is tremendously helpful for people like me who forget stuff often.
There was this app, I don't remember the name, that was similar I think for MacOS. It would record the entire timeline, and you could just "scroll back in time - in real time btw-" to a specific date/time and see the open windows you had and what not. I distinctly remember seeing it somewhere (I think it was here), but I can't find what the app was called, despite all teh gooling.
> I made this app on Windows. The major inspiration from the early concept of Mac app Rewind and Black Mirror S1E3 "The Entire History of You"

I remember a few projects like this, the first I saw was called Savant Recall in 2014. But it failed to be selected for YC, so was set free as open-source. Napster co-founder Ritter picked it up, renamed it Atlas Recall (2016), gave it a new UI, secured $20M in funding. A year later it was suddenly shutdown. On LinkedIn says "acquired by Xinova". Another one I'd heard of was called Apse (2019).

Despite your username, sometimes it's nice not to be cynical all the time. This is tremendously helpful for people like me who forget stuff often.
I would propose you are both absolutely correct.
Whoa, very cool project, I would be keen to try it out if it worked on Linux.
I wonder if there is a sensible API where you can track everything without storing a video file. Something like seeing Window positions, classes, names, and maybe even GTK/QT cache?

check out this similar project, it's made for Linux and has LLM feature: https://github.com/apirrone/Memento

Wow! Thanks for sharing this!
No, thank you! Your hard work and thoughtful programming not only made it possible for me to document my efforts no matter what I was doing on my machines, but it made it easy. That is the true measure of success with any programming effort. You created a product that 1) I could install on my machines, read through the documentation and understand how to make it work for me without any friction since it is well-docum…
I have to say -- I'd rather you worked sane hours, and pushed back a bit. You only get one life, and giving too much of your time to (for example -- as I've spent years in that industry too) the oil and gas industry isn't everything in life.

It seems to create a huge risk for your data though. Any ideas about how you might go about securing against the application itself doing something untoward?
