Open-source Screencap gives Claude screen memory via MCP
samewakefulinsomnia · reddit · 2026-10-17
The author open-sourced a screen-activity memory system: it periodically captures your screen, understands/categorizes the content, and feeds context to agents via MCP.
- Solves the pain of re-explaining to agents what you've already seen or done on screen
- Recently rewritten in Swift with model-based categorization, works well with Claude
- Demo: Claude uses the screencap MCP to find an HN story you saw days ago, pinpointing the exact screenshot, title, score and viewing time
- MIT-licensed, extensible (voice input etc.), one command to install into Claude Code
