Integration: Screenpipe for screen context in coding sessions #4800

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:

  1. Reference docs you viewed: "Use the API I was reading about"
  2. Understand error context: Auto-include recent error messages
  3. Meeting context: "Implement what we discussed"

Integration Ideas

  1. Context command: /context pulls recent screen content
  2. Auto-context: Include relevant screen content in prompts
  3. 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.
