- Extract text from screenshots and transcribe captured material.
- Review daily summaries of activity.
- Ask questions through chat about an indexed personal history.
Requirements & limits
The repository describes a first version for macOS and provides source setup instructions. It lists an Apache-2.0 license.
- The documented source setup requires Node.js 18 or later, npm, Python, and Ollama with llama3.1.
- The README says to allow about 30 minutes initially for activity to gather in the vector database.
- The README identifies Enchanted as powering the interface and app.
- The repository lists TypeScript as its primary language and Apache-2.0 as its license.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare and start Remind from source
Set up the repository and start its development server.
Before you start
- Node.js 18 or later and npm
- Python
- Ollama with llama3.1 pulled
Steps
Clone the Remind repository.
In the project directory, run npm install.
Run npm run dev to start the server.
Follow the linked setup video for the remaining setup stage.
Expected outcome

Guide limitations
- These steps do not cover the remaining application setup or confirm a completed working installation.
- The README describes a first macOS version; the listed setup steps are source-based.
Compare options for Vector search
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
