After an interruption
A developer remembers seeing a failing auth trace but not which terminal had it. Flow search finds the screen, source frame, and surrounding app context without opening another workspace.

ADHD Context Recovery
Search your screen history when attention shifts.
Recover the document, browser tab, terminal output, or message you were using before an interruption. ScreenSearch reads captured screen text with UI Automation and OCR, then lets you search or ask from the Flow overlay without rebuilding the trail by hand.

A searchable trail for returning to interrupted work.01 — Recover Work Context
Pick up where you left off
When an interruption breaks the thread, search the words, idea, app, or question you remember. ScreenSearch keeps captured work context searchable.
Without ScreenSearch
- “I know I saw that code snippet yesterday...” opens 50 tabs trying to find it
- Browser-history detours that show URLs without the on-screen context you need
- Reconstructing context manually across tabs, files, chats, and terminals
- Restarting the task because the last useful screen is hard to locate
With ScreenSearch
- Search “code snippet” and find matching screens by text, meaning, or app context
- Flow overlay hotkey lets you search or ask without leaving the app you are in
- Recall reports provide a scannable review of captured activity when the day is hard to reconstruct
- External memory you control, local-first and built around your own Windows history
Context-recovery tools for interrupted work
Search the Trail
Look across captured tabs, documents, and error messages using the details you still remember.
Recover Context
Use the Flow overlay or Recall reports to rebuild the thread after an interruption.
Keep Results Focused
Surface reduction and throttled enrichment reduce repetitive UI chrome in the searchable history.
02 — Features for Context Recovery
Features for context recovery
Built for context recovery, not another organization system you have to maintain.
- F.01
Just ask what you did
Ask “what was I working on?” Smart Answers uses retrieved screens to draft a source-linked response you can verify against the captured frames.
- F.02
Flow overlay search
Hit Ctrl+Alt+Space, search or ask, and return to the task without opening a dashboard or another browser tab.
- F.03
Recall reports
Daily and weekly reports make screen history scannable when the day blurs together, with app-aware context instead of a raw screenshot pile.
- F.04
Attention-first capture
Surface reduction and smart enrichment throttling reduce repetitive UI chrome so the useful parts of your work are easier to find.
- F.05
UIA text with OCR fallback
ScreenSearch reads accessible app text first, then falls back to OCR for images, PDFs, browsers, terminals, and less cooperative apps.
- F.06
Coming next: marks and where-was-I
Planned recall anchors will let you mark important moments and rebuild what you were doing before an interruption.
03 — Context-Recovery Workflows
Context-recovery workflows
Concrete ways to find source material, rebuild a task, and review captured work after an interruption.
When a source disappears
A researcher remembers reading the right phrase in a PDF, browser tab, or note. UIA text plus OCR fallback keeps those surfaces searchable later.
Research workflow
When the day feels blank
Recall reports give a plain-language review of activity so standups, billing notes, and personal reflection do not depend on perfect memory.
Planning workflow
Recover the thread after an interruption
Search captured screen text, reopen the source frame, and return to the task with less manual backtracking.
