I mentioned this in another post recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41699265 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41699265 but I've been using something of a homegrown equivalent of Recall most of the year and I really do think the concept has a lot of potential. definitely understand the privacy concerns (and especially if there's no opt-out), but I just want to encourage y'all to be open minded and consider the potential benefits. anybody use google photos? I've got almost 20 years of photos and videos on it. But there's so many gaps in the timeline! so why not just record everything. and with an AI layer on top to help surface and search interesting/relevant moments. same thing for facebook and twitter and ig and hn and whatever social media you might use. it's such a privilege to be able to go back and look at our digital artifacts from years and decades past. so why not do it in 4k+audio.

Do you have any sharable info as to how you setup your own private version of recall?

  I talk about it a little bit here (high level not technical) https://youtu.be/2zqXkNhaJx0 https://youtu.be/2zqXkNhaJx0 but it's basically private daily youtube livestreams whenever I'm at my PC (so like 8+ hours a day) + limitless.ai for real time audio transcription (and whisper for local/offline transcription) + every 30 minutes throughout the day I do a quick status update+reflection in my obsidian notes, or ad-hoc annotation of notable moments in the day. WIP is using local multimodal models to add additional more fine-grained annotation from my livestream videos.

I take screenshots and use pHash to see if I should save them. Then I OCR them etc. It's basically a homegrown little recall. Then a timestamp of when the screenshot was taken goes into a db. I also have a keylogger and some more personal data collectors. Still working it out into a "usable platform" though.
