MemFlow
MemFlow: AI Memory Assistant & Semantic Search for Mac
MemFlow is a Mac memory assistant that silently records your screen and audio, letting you instantly recall anything through AI-powered semantic search.
Overview
MemFlow turns your Mac into a searchable memory bank by continuously capturing screenshots and audio in the background, then converting them into text via OCR and ASR. Instead of scrambling to remember where you saw a document, what was said on a call, or which app held that crucial detail, you can simply search in plain language and MemFlow surfaces the exact moment. Everything is processed and stored locally with encryption, so your sensitive information never leaves your machine.
Beyond passive recall, MemFlow layers AI on top of your captured history to generate summaries, prep notes, and content on demand—turning raw screen and audio data into actionable insight. With high-ratio compression keeping storage lean and a lightweight footprint on CPU and memory, it's designed to run quietly in the background all day. For professionals juggling constant context switching, it promises to reclaim up to 30 minutes daily that would otherwise be spent hunting for lost information.
Currently in alpha and available exclusively for macOS Ventura 13.0 and above, MemFlow is aimed at researchers, consultants, sales teams, project managers, and students—anyone who needs a reliable second brain for tracking decisions, conversations, and digital activity across every app and platform they use.
