It runs on gemma 4 which is one of the fewer models supporting vision audio and reasoning all 3, so your data never leaves you machine.With screenmind you can keep a track of your timeline , how much time you spent on what..search any screenshot with any text on it..

and the coolest thing, you can chat with your screen history, like what did alex texted me on discord or did i received any mail from Microsoft, if it was on your screen , you can prompt it in the cha.
