🔥 Recall for Linux
Are you forced to work with Linux?
Do you miss the convenience of Microsoft spying on you and keeping track of everything?
Fear not! This amazing tool will bring back all those great Windows Recall features that you have been missing:
- 🌲 Stores all you sensitive data in an convenient, easily accessible database
- ⏲️ 24/7 screencaptures of everything you do
- 🥳 Image to text conversion with OCR
- 😇 Index and store everything your friends tell you over chat apps or e-mail; if it’s on your screen we’ve got you covered!
Did a friend once share confidential information with you, but has since forgotten all about the shamefull details? No worries, you got that info!
Forgot about that website you visited 3 weeks ago, late in the evening while drunk? Yup, we stored that!

EpzillonLike, don’t get me wrong, it’s cool and all…
but why?
(it’s a joke… check out the code)
Lmao, that one is on me. Phone decided not to open the link last time so i didn’t check. That’s hilarious though, well done 👍
𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆Copilot noticed you might be thinking of Linux. Let’s fix that. 🐧❌
Help it’s got my foot…

In really disappointed it won’t email all my data to Microsoft via whatever publicly accessible email accounts they have available.
Maybe in a future update. For now I’ll just have to stick to manually giving a random Microsoft customer service rep all my data 😮💨
There’s an issue that’s similar to your request, you could endorse it:
The issues are hilarious. 👍
give them time.
When It can just publicly post everything I do to Reddit then I’ll consider adding it to my Hannah Montana Linux install.
The SUN community license is the kicker. Amazing job.
I also recommend to read the source code: https://github.com/rolflobker/recall-for-linux/blob/main/recall-for-linux.exe
Bing Chat detected sarcasm in your search query. This has been noted.Also love that they simply put the .exe extension on a bash script. 😚👌
The script is hilarious:
Personal faves are the previous assistants returning from the grave:
And also the name:
had me in the first half not gonna lie
still has me
I was ready to come in here all confused like: “why?” And then I read the post. Thanks for the laughs.
The funniest thing was the hacker news thread where some people were so AI and corp brained they were saying hey now maybe this could be a great idea.
Bro screenshotting your desktop and running an llm over everything will never be a good idea or feature that outweighs the cost. Linux battery life is bad enough without an llm I’m the back 24/7
Linux battery life is bad?
My laptop battery life doubled when I switched from Windows to Mint
Yes
Compared to and based on what?
Can you add some context.
That has not been my experience at all
Its pretty common knowledge so I dont feel like I need to cite battery life comparison videos.
Laptop manufacturers do a lot at the driver level to optimise battery life. In linux most laptops are using 3rd party drivers with very few having vendor support. This plus windows having a more mature power saving system.To top it off CPU sleep states dont work as well as on windows because vendor did not put the effort in.
Theoretical linux could have better battery life if the manufacturer supported its drivers we see this with the legion go s windows vs linux and the steamdeck windows vs linux.
god that was cringe
This was hilarious!
Looks like the non-meme-version of this is dead (or feature-complete 🙃):

Yes, but the search engine is so crappy you won’t ever find it. Our AI is thankful for the input, nonetheless…
