Waylight

Waylight is a desktop application that acts as a personal AI assistant with a unique capability: it can see and remember what's happening on your computer screen. It processes your open tabs, documents, meetings, and messages in the background, building a searchable memory of your digital activity. This lets you ask questions about content you've viewed, like "What did we discuss in last week's meeting?" or "Summarize that document I had open earlier," without needing to manually search through your files or browser history.

The tool distinguishes itself by running entirely locally on your machine. All AI processing happens on your device using optimized local language models, which means none of your screen data is ever uploaded to the cloud. This privacy-first approach is central to its design. Waylight also automatically organizes your activity into useful formats, generating a daily journal of your accomplishments and a dynamic to-do list based on your recent work.

Waylight is particularly valuable for professionals who juggle multiple information sources throughout their day. It helps knowledge workers stay on top of commitments made in meetings, students track their research across many documents, and anyone who needs to recall specific details from their digital workflow. By automating the note-taking and information retrieval process, it reduces the cognitive load of managing multiple tabs and trying to remember where you saw important information.
