## Overview

### What Does LiveRecall Do?

LiveRecall is designed to help you easily find and recall specific moments you’ve seen on your screen. Imagine these scenarios:

- You saw a blue shirt online but can’t remember where.
- You received a meme or message but can’t recall who sent it or on which platform.

![LiveRecall Infrance](Images/Screenshot%202024-06-13%20083549.png)

LiveRecall addresses these needs by capturing screenshots whenever a change is detected on your screen and at regular intervals. This data is then used for recall, allowing you to describe what you’re looking for in natural language, and the appropriate image will be shown.

## Features

- **Open Source**: Fully transparent and community-driven development.
- **Semantic Search**: Retrieve your snapshots using simple natural language descriptions.
- **Continuous Capture**: Takes screenshots when changes are detected and at specified intervals.
- **Encryption**: Ensures your screenshots are securely stored with simple encryption (enhanced encryption is on the way).
