What is Pensieve ai?
Pensieve is a privacy-focused passive recording project. It automatically captures screen content, builds intelligent indexes, and offers a convenient web interface for retrieving historical records.
This project draws significant inspiration from two others: one called Rewind and another named Windows Recell. However, unlike both of them, Pensieve gives you full control over your data, avoiding the transfer of information to untrusted data centers.
Features:
- Easy Setup: Simply install dependencies via PIP to get started
- Complete Data Control: All data is stored locally, enabling full local operations and self-managed data processing
- Full-text and vector search support
- Integration with Ollama, using it as Pensieve's machine learning engine
- Compatibility with any OpenAI API model (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, VLLM, etc.)
- Support for Mac and Windows (Linux support in development)
- Extend functionality through plugins
