screenpipe

One of the most active external contributors to screenpipe, the YC-backed local-first screen/audio capture tool: 24 merged upstream PRs (count verified on GitHub, 2026-08-04) and 40+ issues filed.

• Privacy and PII-redaction work -- the part of a capture tool that has to be right.
• CoreAudio and meeting-detection fixes on macOS.
• Contributor onboarding plus a dev/test harness I dogfood 24/7 -- I contribute the slow way, from a real local build, not vibe-coded PRs.
• The work led to a direct offer from the founder.

Where to look:

1. the merged PR list -- all 24, with review threads.
2. the issues I filed -- 40+, mostly reproducible reports from daily use.
