What is MemoryLane?
MemoryLane is a tray app for macOS and Windows that captures your screen as you work, summarizes each capture into text through your model endpoint, then deletes the screenshot. Only the summaries, OCR text, and embeddings are kept ā in a local SQLite database with full-text and vector search. From there it detects recurring workflows, surfaces automation opportunities, and makes everything queryable from any AI chat over MCP.
Capture ā summarize ā store locally ā detect patterns ā query from any AI chat via MCP

Use your own models
By default, captures are summarized through a managed OpenRouter endpoint. You can instead point MemoryLane at your own LLM ā a local model via Ollama, vLLM, or LM Studio, or your own OpenRouter account ā all from Settings, no rebuild. With a local endpoint, captures never leave your machine. See Using Your Own Models.
