Memos

A project to index everything to make it like another memory. The project contains two parts:

1. screen recorder: which takes screenshots every 5 seconds and saves them to ~/.memos/screenshots by default.
2. memos server: a web service that can index the screenshots and other files, providing a web interface to search the records.

There is a product called Rewind that is similar to memos, but memos aims to give you control over all your data.
