I've been working on Ghost Widget – an AI memory assistant that captures your screen activity and lets you (or AI agents) search through everything you've ever seen. The problem I'm solving: You spend 20 minutes looking for that article you read last week, or that code snippet you wrote yesterday, or remembering what your manager said in that Zoom call. Your computer has a terrible memory, even though it literally has perfect storage. How it works: Runs in background, captures screen metadata/activity, builds a searchable knowledge base. You can ask "what was that Python library I looked at last Tuesday?" or let Claude/ChatGPT query it directly for context-aware assistance. Early traction: 10 people signed up for demos in the first week with basically no marketing and a landing page I'm embarrassed to show you. Questions for HN:
Privacy: This is obviously the biggest concern. Would local-only storage + open-source code make you comfortable? Or is screen recording a hard no regardless? Use cases: Beyond "finding stuff I've seen," what would make this genuinely indispensable for you? Pricing: Would you pay $20/month for this if it saved you an hour daily? Or does it need to be freemium? Competition: Rewind exists but is Mac-only and just got acquired/pivoted. Microsoft Recall was a privacy nightmare. What would differentiate a new player here?
For context: I'm a 9th grader from India, top 1% on Codeforces, built an AI IDE in 2022 before Cursor was a thing. I ship fast and want to make sure I'm building something people actually want before going deeper.
A very bootstrapped landing page: https://www.ghostwidget.com/
