Littlebird just raised $11M to remember everything you do on your Mac

A startup called Littlebird just raised $11 million to build what Microsoft Recall promised but couldn't deliver: an AI that watches your screen in real time, remembers everything, and lets you search your own work history using plain English.

Unlike Microsoft's controversial Recall feature — which was delayed multiple times over privacy concerns — Littlebird runs locally on your Mac and is SOC 2 Type II certified, meaning an independent auditor verified its security practices.

An AI that already knows what you're working on

Littlebird runs silently in the background across every app on your Mac — Slack, Notion, email, browsers, calendars — watching your screen content (not taking screenshots) to build a personal knowledge base. When you ask it a question, it already has the context.

Think of it as a work diary you never have to write. Lost a link from last Tuesday's meeting? Ask Littlebird. Can't remember which Slack thread had that budget number? Littlebird knows.

How it compares to alternatives

vs. Microsoft Recall: Recall takes periodic screenshots and has been plagued by privacy concerns. Littlebird reads screen content directly — no screenshots stored — and your data never leaves your device for model training.

vs. Screenpipe (open source, 17K GitHub stars): Screenpipe is a developer tool you self-host. Littlebird is a polished app for non-technical users with automatic setup, meeting transcription, and mobile companion apps.

vs. Rewind (now Limitless): Limitless pivoted to a wearable device. Littlebird stays focused on your computer screen — where most knowledge work actually happens.

Who this is actually for

Consultants and client-facing professionals who juggle multiple projects and need instant recall across clients. Managers who sit in back-to-back meetings and need searchable notes. Anyone who types "where did I see that?" more than once a day.

Pricing and availability

Littlebird is available now for macOS (Windows waitlist open). Pricing:
