Integration Idea
Add Screenpipe support to provide screen context during coding sessions!
What is Screenpipe?
Screenpipe (16k+ stars) is a 24/7 local screen & mic recording tool:
- Captures screen via OCR
- Transcribes audio
- Local storage + REST API
Why This Matters for Aider
When coding, developers constantly:
- Read documentation
- Look at Stack Overflow
- View error messages
- Attend meetings discussing features
Screenpipe captures all of this. Aider could use it to:
- Reference docs you viewed: "Use the API I was reading about"
- Understand error context: Auto-include recent error messages
- Meeting context: "Implement what we discussed"
Integration Ideas
- Context command:
/context pulls recent screen content
- Auto-context: Include relevant screen content in prompts
- Meeting mode: Reference recent meeting transcripts
Example
> /context last 30 minutes
[Screenpipe shows: Error stack trace, API docs, Slack discussion]
> Fix the error I saw and use the API pattern from the docs
Both tools are local-first - no data leaves your machine!
Would love to discuss feasibility.
