It’s 2:15 AM. 18 browser tabs open, three terminal windows split across the screen, two Stack Overflow threads half-read, and a docs page open to a function you’re pretty sure might solve this. You hit run. The console spits out a 30-line traceback that makes no sense at first glance. You open ChatGPT or Claude for help, and instantly hit the wall. The AI has zero memory of anything you were doing. To actually get a useful answer, you have to: Copy-paste the terminal error Copy-paste the relevant 50 lines from your editor Re-type a whole paragraph explaining your library versions and everything you already tried 20 minutes ago By the time the prompt’s actually set up, you’ve lost your train of thought completely. You’re doing manual data entry for a tool that was supposed to save you time. That context loss used to drive me crazy. But I also didn’t want some cloud service sitting there recording my screen and uploading my activity to a server somewhere. So I built Clippy Vision. It’s a 100% local, open source desktop assistant. Runs quietly, keeps track of your screen context on your own machine. Hit the shortcut and it already knows what you were looking at, what error popped up, what you were actually trying to do. You just ask. No copy-pasting, no re-explaining, nothing leaves your device. Attached a quick 20-second clip showing it in action. It’s open source, and the Windows .exe (v1.0.0) is ready to run. Source code in comments. Curious how you all currently handle context switching in your own workflow, and what you’d want to see added next. submitted by /u/Apprehensive-Mix3820
