Screen Memory | Search Engine For My Screenshots
This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend What I Built Screen Memory is a Windows app that finds any screenshot when you describe it in plain words. No file names. No endless scrolling. No cloud. I had 560+ screenshots named like Screenshot 2026-07-18 204819 . I knew I had taken the one I needed. I just could not find it.

Screen Memory is a Windows app developed for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge. It allows users to find any screenshot by describing its contents in plain words. The app works by taking a screenshot, then asking the user to describe it. Gemma 4, an AI model, reads the image and saves a title, description, text, and tags. Later, when a user searches, the AI agent uses these saved descriptions to find the matching screenshot.
The app runs entirely on the user's laptop without requiring a dedicated GPU or cloud storage. It uses SQLite for storage and Python for the app. The user can search by asking a question about what they remember seeing in the screenshot, and the AI will find the closest match and present it along with the reason for the match.
