About
A macOS menu bar app that silently records the text of whatever window is focused throughout the day and writes it to local markdown files, then uses an agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, opencode) to turn that record into a cited knowledge base and daily summary. It exposes an MCP server with twenty tools so AI assistants can query the record, knowledge, and notes directly.
What it can do
Record on-screen text of the currently focused window
Focused window content via macOS accessibility API → Text record
Write captured text into local markdown files

Generate a cited knowledge base from the recorded text using an agent CLI

Generate a daily summary from the recorded text using an agent CLI

Expose an MCP server with tools for AI assistants to query the record, knowledge, and notes
