Escribano watches your screen recordings and turns hours of deep work into structured, shareable summaries — so you never start a status update from a blank page again.

Download the DMG, drag Escribano to Applications. On first launch, grant Screen Recording permission. The recorder starts automatically — no terminal, no config, no daemon to manage.
Always-on capture at one-second intervals. A local VLM running entirely on your machine understands your activity — coding, debugging, reviewing, researching — and groups it into TopicBlocks automatically.
Open the menu bar app, pick your format — standup, session card, or narrative — and Escribano generates it from your recent work. Copy and paste. Nothing leaves your machine.
The TypeScript pipeline powering Escribano's VLM analysis is fully open source. Use it directly for batch processing, or contribute to the engine.
npx escribano --file recording.movYou spend your day unblocking people, reviewing work, and making calls that don't produce visible output. Escribano gives your invisible work a voice.
Three hours of research, and you have six browser tabs, two insights, and a blank status update. Escribano remembers the journey, not just the destination.
Calls, proposals, follow-ups — your day is relational and fast-moving. Let Escribano handle the documentation so you can stay present with people.
You debug, refactor, review PRs, and lose hours in terminal windows. Escribano understands the difference between coding and debugging — so your standup actually reflects what you shipped.
