skye0110on Show HN: Local privacy-first Microsoft Recall alternative with Gemma 4

thats the nice part though-not everything has to be a moat , anyone can build what they think , no idea remains a idea thats a win.

agreed, the backlash was the cloud + always-on , not the idea itself. thats basically why i only bothered building the local version.

thats the point - local, opt-in, nothing leaves the machine. rewind was great but the cloud part scared people off. this runs the whole analysis on-device so the search/chat works without anything being uploaded and it works more as a background service.

yes you are not wrong,e2b and e4b are pretty limited , i just gave them a really narrow job and lot of context.

for screenshot generation its not open ended generation, image ocr and windows title is fed..and only structured json is asked in response, it works fine

so i just designed around it - small model + tight prompt + real context instead of hoping the model is clever. what were you trying to generate? can share the exact prompt setup if it helps
