Glass (Pickle)
Open-source desktop "Digital Mind Extension" by Pickle (~7.5K stars, GPL-3.0): an invisible, local-first meeting/screen assistant that watches your screen, listens in real time, and surfaces summaries, action items, and on-screen Q&A — without appearing in recordings, screenshots, or the dock.

npm run setup) requiring Node 20.x + Python (Windows additionally needs VS Build Tools). Source: GitHub README, 2026-06-13 - Shortcuts —

Stack fit (Kevin)
- Local-first alternative to cloud meeting bots — complements (does not replace) Kevin's Circleback
meeting-syncpipeline; the Ollama/Whisper path keeps audio on-device, which matters for sensitive Dedalus/Agent Machines calls. - Readable reference — a maintained open-source Electron + Next.js + Tailwind desktop app with a screen-aware Q&A loop; useful prior art for any local-first desktop agent UX, and it aligns with Kevin's Tailwind-first conventions.
- Vetting flags before install: it is a fork of CheatingDaddy and GPL-3.0 (copyleft — material if ever vendored into a product). Run the three-gate chain (Brin - Agent Context Security, skill-auditor, reputation) on the repo and any prebuilt DMG before adopting.
