Serpaix vs Screenpipe

Both capture locally — Serpaix also organises and teaches.

Screenpipe records your screen and audio into local storage and exposes it through a local API and MCP server, so agents can search your work history. It is the closest tool to Serpaix on capture philosophy. The difference is what happens next: Screenpipe is history and retrieval, while Serpaix turns the same raw material into a knowledge graph, spaced-repetition learning, meeting intelligence and task automation.

In short: Serpaix and Screenpipe are both tools for organising what you know, but they optimise for different things. Serpaix is a local-first personal AI operating system — capture, knowledge graph, search and AI chat run on your own Windows PC, with cloud sync, mobile apps and enterprise SSO on the roadmap. Choose Serpaix if: you want local capture to become a structured, self-organising knowledge system — graph, search, chat with citations, flashcards, tasks and meeting briefs on Windows. Choose Screenpipe if: you want a source-available capture-and-retrieval layer for agents, with a local REST API and a large pipe library, and you are comfortable assembling the rest yourself.
