Question 1

Is Windo an AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

No. Windo is not an AI assistant. It's a context and memory layer for the AI assistants you already use. Windo captures what's on your screen, in your clipboard, and in your activity, then makes that context instantly available to any AI model or agent you're working with (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, etc.). It doesn't replace your AI tools; it gives them the background they need to be useful without you re-explaining everything each time. That said, Windo does include a "Chat with Context" feature that lets you ask questions directly about your captured activity, with no copy-pasting required. Think of it as a quick way to search and reason over your own history.

Question 2

How does Windo work?

Accepted Answer

Windo runs quietly in the background on your Mac, continuously capturing activity through the macOS Accessibility API. When you switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or any other AI tool, Windo retrieves the relevant captured context and inserts it automatically, with no copy-paste required.

Question 3

Does Windo record my screen?

Accepted Answer

No. Windo doesn't record your screen and doesn't take screenshots. It uses Apple's Accessibility API to read only the text from the apps you allow, and builds your context from that text alone. No video, no images, nothing visual is captured.

Question 4

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

Windo is local-first. Your captured context stays on your device. Personal information is never used to train AI models, sold, or shared for advertising. Sensitive data such as credit card numbers, passwords, SSNs, OTP codes, banking details, passport numbers, and credentials is automatically filtered and redacted on-device before anything is stored.

Question 5

Can I control what Windo captures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Windo gives you fine-grained privacy controls: Filter specific apps, websites, or categories you don't want captured. Pause capture with a single click anytime. No capture, no storage, no memory. Resume whenever you're ready.

Question 6

How is my privacy protected?

Accepted Answer

Windo uses on-device PII detection (powered by open-source frameworks like Microsoft Presidio) to automatically identify and redact sensitive information before it's stored. Combined with per-app filters, one-click pause, and the local-first architecture, you maintain full control over what is captured and what stays private.

Question 7

Do you use my data to train AI models or sell it to third parties?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't use your personal data to train our AI models, and we will never sell your data to advertisers or any other third parties. Our business model means that our customers are our users, not advertisers.
