porech/openrelife — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me an open source desktop app for Apple Silicon Macs that works like Rewind or Recall but keeps everything private and stored on my computer. It should quietly take screenshots while I’m using my computer, read the text and images in them with local AI or OCR, and let me search my past activity by typing normal words. I also want a timeline view where I can scroll back through what I was doing and open a full screen overlay with a keyboard shortcut, then close it with Escape.

Please make the experience feel simple and polished, not like a developer tool. It should pause recording when I’m inactive, avoid recording when private browsing or incognito windows are visible, and give me control over where the local data is stored. Use a Python backend and an Electron style desktop interface if that fits best. Focus on macOS first, especially Apple Silicon, and look up current docs online if you need to.
