Memos is a privacy-focused passive recording project. It can automatically record screen content, build intelligent indices, and provide a convenient web interface to retrieve historical records.

This project draws heavily from two other projects: one called Rewind and another called Windows Recall. However, unlike both of them, Memos allows you to have complete control over your data, avoiding the transfer of data to untrusted data centers.

In short order, this will create a large corpus of unsecured local data.

Is the user expected to secure the data independently?

Do Recall/Rewind help the user to filter recorded data for retention or deletion?

"large corpus of unsecured unsecured local data" is this much worse than unencrypted outlook mailbox (pst or est)? Or offline files from your Dropbox/GDrive/etc? Or your browser profile?

I guess it's worse in the sense that it also records audio, but large corpus of information is already at risk on a unsecure or compromised devices

I don’t record audio because I believe this is already a built-in feature in many meeting software applications.
