Remio captures your recordings and web activity into an AI-searchable archive in the cloud. LUCI remembers your whole day on the computer instead — understood in real time, stored on your device, and readable by every AI agent you run.
Life memory for every AI agent — your whole day understood in real time, stored on your device, encrypted at rest.
Cloud AI assistant with automatic capture. Agentic RAG, but cloud-only.
Remio positions itself as an AI assistant powered by your experience: unlimited recording, automatic web capture, and Agentic RAG for retrieval. It's a capable cloud product for people who want their browsing, files, and conversations indexed. LUCI shares the ambition but differs in architecture — it keeps everything on your device, encrypted at rest, understands video in real time (not just audio), and hands that memory to whichever AI agent you already use rather than locking it inside one app.

Cloud AI assistant with auto-capture and Agentic RAG. Cloud-only.
Pull any transcripts or notes you can export. LUCI imports them as searchable memory so prior context carries over.
LUCI captures screen and audio continuously like Remio, and adds real-time video understanding on top.
Remio stores recordings in its cloud. LUCI keeps everything on your own machine — nothing is uploaded.
Remio's Agentic RAG surfaces information inside Remio. LUCI opens the same memory to Claude, Cursor, and Codex, so the agent you already use can work from your real context.
Capture every Zoom, Meet & Teams call locally on your device — no bot joins the call — and turn it into searchable notes and action items.
Remio is a cloud product — your recordings and browsing data live on their servers. LUCI keeps everything on your own device: nothing is uploaded, and the record is encrypted at rest.
Remio stores your recordings and browsing data in their cloud. LUCI stores everything locally on your machine — no cloud, no uploads.
Remio has vision features but processes recordings after the fact. LUCI understands video as it happens — useful for live meeting assistance and real-time context.
Remio's Agentic RAG surfaces relevant information inside Remio. LUCI's memory is open to the agents you already use — Claude, Cursor, Codex — so they can draft, summarise, and follow up with your real context in hand.
Both capture screen and audio continuously. Remio adds automatic web page capture via a browser extension. LUCI captures screen-wide (including browsers), adds real-time video understanding, and makes the result readable by the AI agents you already use.
LUCI keeps all your data on your own device — nothing is uploaded to the cloud. Remio is a cloud service that stores your data on its servers.
Remio's browser extension captures web pages and emails automatically. LUCI captures everything on screen (including browser content) via its screen recording. For dedicated web archiving, Remio has a more targeted feature.
LUCI is local-first: your data stays on your device and is never uploaded to the cloud. Remio is cloud-based. For privacy-sensitive use cases, LUCI gives you more control.
Both Remio and LUCI position as Rewind alternatives. Remio is closer in spirit (cloud capture + search). LUCI goes further with on-device storage, real-time understanding, and a memory every AI agent you run can read.
Free on Mac and Windows. Fully local.
