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?

This is odd. Why would you secure this piece of data and leave everything else open?

Surely you encrypt your disk rather than trying to secure this one app? I mean there’s far more valuable stuff to on your machine than anything this app could possibly store

Things that are fleetingly on-screen are not commonly stored on disk forever. That changes with these apps.
