What is inf?
inf is a Mac app that turns your screen and audio into searchable memory. It helps you find things you have seen or heard while using your computer.
You can search that memory from your Mac or make it available to a connected AI agent, so the agent can use context from your work.
How does it work?
When capture is enabled, inf records your screen and audio in the background. It extracts text from your screen and transcribes speech, then organizes the results so you can search them later.
Capture, indexing, storage, and search happen on your Mac. You can look back for a detail from a meeting or something you read without remembering exactly where you saw it.
Capture
Your screen and audio, recorded while capture is on.
Make it searchable
Screen text and speech become an index on your Mac.
Find it again
Search in inf, or use that context with a connected agent.
A detail from a meeting searchable text find the detail later
How is inf different from other apps?
inf focuses on three things: capturing, storing, and searching your screen and audio. It gives you and the tools you already use a searchable memory of your computer activity, without adding another chat app or AI agent to your workflow.
That focused approach keeps inf much cheaper than an all-in-one AI tool. It works alongside your existing tools, giving them the context they need to be more useful.
How do I connect my agents?
inf has built-in connections for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Open the connection panel in inf, choose Add Agent, and click Connect next to your tool. After connecting, reopen Claude Desktop or Codex, or start a new Claude Code session. Cursor picks up the change automatically.
For claude.ai, ChatGPT, and ChatGPT Desktop, inf also provides a hosted connector setup using a public URL and token. These connections let the hosted service reach inf on your Mac; the connection panel has the setup details.
More connections are coming soon. If you would like support for another tool, email the developers at team@infinite-memory.xyz.
How is my data kept private and secure?
inf captures, processes, stores, and searches your data locally on your Mac. Your stored data is encrypted, and your screen recordings, audio, and extracted text are not uploaded to us.
Your captured data stays on your computer unless you choose to connect an agent. A connected agent can retrieve context from inf, and that context may be sent to the agent’s provider under its own privacy policy. You decide whether to connect these tools. Read our privacy policy for more details.
Why is my memory usage so high?
Most of the storage space inf uses goes to screenshots. The text from your activity is highly compressed and takes up much less room. Screenshots provide a useful visual reference, so inf keeps them while there is space available. This can make your storage limit look like it is filling up quickly, even though the searchable text uses only a small part of it.
As inf reaches your storage limit, it removes screenshots to make room and keeps the compressed text. Searchable history takes priority over images, helping you keep a compact record of your activity for months and years. A full usage bar does not mean your text history is full: screenshots are using space that the text does not yet need.
While there is room
Screenshots stay alongside your text.
At your storage limit
Most of the space is still used by images.
As your text history grows
Screenshots make way. Your text stays searchable.
What do I need to run inf?
inf requires a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 26 or later.
You can download inf for macOS from the latest release.
