AI memory
ShogunAI reads the text macOS already exposes to screen readers, keeps it encrypted on your Mac with its source and time, and indexes it on-device.
The useful part of a workday is never in one document. It is spread across a thread you skimmed, a decision you made out loud, a draft you abandoned, and a document someone else edited. ShogunAI keeps that as a memory you did not have to maintain — and keeps it where you can see exactly what it holds.
The focused window’s app, title and visible text, read the way a screen reader reads it. Excluded apps, private windows and password fields are never read, and pause stops capture entirely — those exclusions apply before anything is written, not as a filter over stored data.
Visual recall is off until you turn it on. With it on, a compressed screenshot is taken only for a window that yields no text at all — a chart in a shared slide, a canvas dashboard, a scanned PDF. It stays encrypted on the Mac and deletes itself at the retention age you choose, one to seven days or a bounded custom duration.
A multilingual embedding model ships with the app, so indexing a dense day costs nothing extra and recall works with no network. There is no per-token meter on your own memory, which is why we never have to remember less of your day to make the product cheaper.
Entries link back to the event that produced them. That is what lets recall answer "Tuesday 14:20, in the design doc" instead of a confident guess, and it is what keeps low-confidence guesses out of anything you send.

macOS asks, you approve, and capture follows the window you are actually working in. Nothing is read from apps you excluded.
Context accumulates without note-taking. Tiered storage keeps the last day instantly available, the last month in full detail, and older history compressed.
Delete an entry and it leaves search, storage and any context assembled for a later action. Pause whenever you want; captured nothing means nothing stored.
What this changes
Frequently asked questions
Only where text capture returns nothing, and only if you switch visual recall on — it is off by default. Those screenshots stay encrypted on your Mac, can be viewed or deleted at any time, and are deleted automatically at the retention age you pick. Everywhere else, capture is text through the accessibility layer and no image is written.
No. Audio streams to a speech service for live transcription while a meeting runs, is never used to train anyone’s models, and is never written to disk or a temp file. What persists is the transcript text and where it came from, and the traceability log records the egress.
In an encrypted database on your Mac. There is no server-side copy of your day to seize, breach, or quietly train on. What leaves the device is the specific slice a request needs, logged with its purpose.
No. Embeddings run locally, so indexing is free whatever the volume, and recall works offline.
