Local evidence layer

Your work,
queryable
by any agent.

Escribano runs on your Mac and quietly captures what's on screen. A vision model understands it. A CLI lets your agents — or you — search, filter, and cite the evidence. Nothing leaves your machine.

Capture. Understand. Query.

01

Capture, quietly

A small menu-bar app watches your screen in the background. Repeats are skipped, nothing is uploaded, and you can pause it whenever you want.

02

Understand, on-device

Each moment is turned into a short, plain-language description of what you were doing — the tools, the files, the context. All of it stays on your machine.

03

Query, on your terms

Ask your agent — or the command line directly — what you were working on. Escribano returns the evidence, cleanly structured, ready to cite.

An app for you.
A query layer for your agents.

A quiet Mac app that captures and understands your work. A clean interface your agents can reach for — or you, when you need to recall.

Ask what you were doing Pose a question in plain language. Your agent pulls the moments that answer it — with the times, apps, and files already attached.
See a timeline, not a blur Look back at any stretch of the day and get a tidy sequence of what actually happened. No scrolling through browser history.
Spot tools and topics Escribano keeps track of the tools, frameworks, and topics you touched — so "what stack was I in today?" becomes a one-line answer.
Stay in control Pause anytime. Check what's been captured. Nothing leaves your machine unless you explicitly send it somewhere.

For people whose agents
keep asking "what were you doing?"

Agent · Assistant

Give your coding agent a memory.

Claude Code, Cursor, Aider — they forget the moment the session ends. Point them at Escribano's CLI and they can cite the exact moment a bug appeared, the tool you opened, the file you edited.

Developer · Engineer

Forensic recall, on demand.

"What was that library I tried on Tuesday?" "When did the error first show up?" Query your own work like a database, instead of scrolling through browser history.

Agent builder · Researcher

Wire it into your own stack.

Stable JSON, versioned API, local SQLite. Build the agent surface you actually want — an MCP server, a shell alias, a scheduled digest — on top of a substrate you own.

Privacy isn't a section.
It's the architecture.

A screen-capture tool should earn your trust before it earns anything else. Escribano is engineered so the question "where does my data go?" has a short answer: nowhere.

Local-only processing

Vision model, entity extraction, search index — all on your Mac. No cloud inference, no API keys, no upload. You can unplug the network.

PII redacted on output

Emails, API tokens, passwords, and secrets are filtered out of text before it ever leaves the query layer. Default on. No flag to disable.

Screenshots opt-in only

Raw frames never appear in query results unless you pass --images. Agents can't accidentally slurp pixels into their context window.

No training. No telemetry.

We don't collect your data — so we can't train on it. No crash reporter, no analytics, no phone-home. The repo is public. Verify it yourself.
