Everything you see and do on your computer, remembered for you. That website, that piece of data, what the client told you on Tuesday. Ricordo captures it in the background —only on your own machine— and gives it back when you ask. Like Littlebird, but yours: nothing goes to the cloud, and it runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Runs in the background and remembers what appears on your screen —text, websites, apps—. No audio recording, no interruptions. It all stays on your disk.
"what did the supplier tell me?", "what was that website?", "summarize what I saw today about X". In your own language, no commands.
It gives you the answer citing when and in which app you saw it. The easy model answers for free, locally; the hard stuff, with the best AI — you choose.
Ricordo, created by Giora Gilead of recableado.blog, is your desktop second brain: it captures, one hundred percent locally, what you do on Windows, macOS and Linux, and answers questions about your own activity. Unlike tools that send your entire life to someone else's servers, Ricordo keeps it all inside your computer — real sovereignty, not a marketing promise. The name is Italian: ricordo, "memory", and also the keepsake you hold onto because it matters to you.
Almost every app of this kind sends what you see to someone else's cloud. Ricordo doesn't: capture and search happen inside your computer. Something only leaves it if YOU choose the strong AI for a hard question — and even then, only the question and the exact fragment travel, never your history.
Rewind, the pioneer, was bought by Meta and shut down. When your second brain lives in someone else's cloud, it isn't yours. Ricordo's lives in your own home.
Two-click install: download and open. The first time, macOS/Windows may warn you (app not yet signed): Mac → right-click → Open; Windows → More info → Run anyway. Then grant it screen permission and it starts remembering.
Try it for a whole month. If it changes your memory, you buy it.
An intense month and that's it? Pay once and it ends on its own. We won't charge you again.
Yours for life, with updates. No subscriptions. As it should be.
The fashionable alternatives cost a fee every month, forever — and keep your life on their servers. Ricordo costs less because your own computer does the work, and what's yours stays in your home.
Capture and search are 100% local. Only if you choose the strong AI for a hard question does that question and the exact fragment travel to the provider you configure — never your history. And there's a fully offline mode, with a network capture to prove it.
In the essentials: your life stays on your own machine, not in someone else's cloud. And it runs on Mac, Windows and Linux, not just Mac.
Mac, Windows and Linux. One-time payment of €49, no subscriptions — or €5 for a single month. Try it free for 30 days first.
