MeMex - A private, searchable memory for your Mac
by•
MeMex gives your Mac a private visual memory. It turns screen activity into an organized timeline of real work moments, then lets you ask plain-English questions and return to matching screen evidence. Daily and weekly reports summarize work you already did, while Pattern Insights spots repeated workflows worth automating. Recordings stay local in a location you control; AI analysis is optional and uses your own provider or compatible local endpoint.

Tried it for a day and the natural language search worked way better than expected. I asked "show me when I was working on the pricing page" and it pulled up the right window. Local storage is a nice touch.
Thanks Hediye! “Show me when I was working on the pricing page” is exactly the kind of ordinary, fuzzy memory query I wanted MeMex to handle. I’m glad it connected your wording to the right window after a full day of use. When it surfaced the result, was the timeline context enough to confirm it immediately, or did you still need to replay the clip? That would help me improve the result view.
The "AI analysis is optional and uses your own provider or a compatible local endpoint" line is what makes this usable for privacy-sensitive work — the timeline stays local and I decide if anything ever leaves. Two things I would test before leaving it always-on: can I exclude specific apps or windows (a password manager, banking) from being recorded at all, and does the searchable text index live in the same local store, or does querying round-trip to the provider? Trying to gauge whether I can keep it capturing during sensitive work without leaking window contents into an external model.
