Can you expand on that? Would love to know more specifically

Sure!

For one, even taking the ethos of local-only as something bulletproof, I can't think of a pro that would outweigh the con of recording everything I do. Part of that might be my lack of imagination, as I'm not a heavy user of ai besides basic Claude code.

Most important though, the concept is ripe for pivoting away from local-only. It will only take a juicy investment offer and I'm sure local-onpy will be quietly forgotten.

Thanks! In fact most of AI apps today have a screen recording component, including Claude, Codex. There are even apps used by hundred of thousands that record your screen 24/7 in the cloud, to provide context, like Screenpipe does.

We're the only local-first, open source option

How much time do you spend explaining the context to your Claude? Or writing detailed prompts? Copy pasting documents into the prompt?

Thanks, I was unaware of that. After some research, though, it seems screen capturing by Claude Code is something you need to activate yourself.

Prompts: not much. If I feel my prompt is becoming a paragraph-long text, that's when I know I probably haven't thought things through enough yet. Documents: I typically have a interpreter console open where I'll do something like File.write("foo.html", page.body), and I'll just tell Claude to "find the missing div in foo.html". Or if its a file already in the repo, I won't need to copy paste anything. Context: also not much. It has all the context by default, doesn't it?
