Continuum is an open-source, local-first memory layer for macOS that captures on-screen activity via OCR and makes it queryable by AI assistants like Claude through MCP. Its innovative combination of real-time screen capture with privacy-preserving local processing and composable SDK/CLI/MCP interfaces offers a novel solution to context-switching across apps.
