Reminiscence VS Apse

So far my best option seem to be https://github.com/kanishka-linux/reminiscence(which I haven't seen in any list of these type of apps for some reason) but that received no updates in 5 years(the dev apparently has no free time to work on it in the foreseeable future) and it has a few active bugs so if I can find something more stable, it would be ideal.

I used ArchiveBox but had some version migration issues with Docker which invalid my entire archive. It was also too resource-hogging for my cheap NAS. Then I looked into Reminiscence after but way to complicated to set-up for me. Source: over 2 years ago

I’ve seen a handful of this kind of “Google, but only for things I’ve seen before” app. I think it’s something the world needs, but there are a lot of different approaches and I don’t think anyone has quite nailed it. Ultimately the best solutions will likely use many different cataloging strategies depending on the content, and will allow you to tag or otherwise organize important content. Funny enough if I had... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

Hey, I’ve been building that. It’s called A Personal Search Engine: https://apse.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

A paid tool in this direction is APSE (https://apse.io) which bills itself as a personal search engine that OCRs intermittent screencaps. I loved the idea, but in practice it lacked polish. I agree that additional metadata like foremost application filepath/url would take this to another level. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

I’ve been working on a very similar thing which runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux: https://apse.io. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Maybe APSE is what you're looking for [1]. A while back the founder sent me a link after one of my blog posts hit HN. It's a tool that continuously records your desktop and offers text search of everything through OCR. I personally found the idea interesting, but I was too afraid to ever try it out. The mere idea of a video record existing of everything that's going on on my computer, even if it's never... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
