Repo lookup
mediar-ai/screenpipe moved. Here is where it is now.
If you typed github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe into a browser or hit it from a script and ended up somewhere different, that is intentional. The repository was transferred out of the mediar-ai org into its own dedicated org. The old URL still works through a permanent GitHub redirect, the new canonical path is github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe, and the page below documents the move with the actual HTTP response, the timeline, and what each org contains today.
Direct answer (verified 2026-05-05)
github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe
301 Moved Permanently
github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe
Same repository, transferred between GitHub orgs. The numeric repo id 817326197 resolves to the new canonical path, and the GitHub REST endpoint api.github.com/repositories/817326197 confirms the rename. Repo ids do not change on rename or transfer; they do change on a fork. So this is not a fork, it is the original.
The redirect, in one HTTP round trip
You do not have to take this on faith. A single curl call against the old URL with -I (head request, no follow) shows exactly what GitHub does when something asks for the old path. The response is a 301 with a Location header pointing at the new org.

The status code matters. A 301 (rather than 302) is GitHub telling search engines and link-checkers that the move is permanent and authority should transfer to the new path. Browsers cache it, archive crawlers update their indices off it, and git itself follows the redirect during a clone or fetch transparently. Your existing checkouts still work. They do, however, have a stale remote URL written into their .git/config, and the polite thing to do is update them with git remote set-url origin https://github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe.git.
The rename, in time
Five rough waypoints. The dates are pulled from public GitHub metadata: the repo creation timestamp, the terminator creation timestamp, and the public README history of the screenpipe project. Specifics like “late 2024” reflect the README's star-count milestones and Mediar's portfolio listings, not a single commit.

What lives where now
The mediar-ai org and the screenpipe org both still exist and are both still active. They cover different problems. Below is a side-by-side of what each one is responsible for at the time of writing.
github.com/mediar-ai
Engine room of the commercial product
The org behind the company at mediar.ai. Centered on Windows desktop automation. The flagship is terminator, a Rust + MIT SDK that controls Windows apps through accessibility APIs. That SDK is what the commercial Mediar product wraps to replace UiPath-class RPA.
- terminator (1,431 stars, Rust, MIT)
- MacosUseSDK (~200 stars), mcp-server-macos-use (~290 stars)
- MCP-server-client-computer-use-ai-sdk (~190 stars)
- fazm, deep-research-pro, smaller infra repos
github.com/screenpipe
The open-source recorder, now standalone
The home of the original project, transferred out of mediar-ai. Records screen and microphone 24/7, indexes locally, and exposes the history to AI assistants over MCP so Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code can query “what was I doing on Tuesday”.
- screenpipe (18,538 stars, Rust, Tauri desktop app)
- Homepage at screenpi.pe
- Marketed as a Rewind / Recall / Granola alternative
- Same numeric repo id as the old mediar-ai path
The two repos in numbers
A quick snapshot pulled from the GitHub REST API on May 5, 2026. The first two numbers describe the project that moved. The next describes the new flagship of the mediar-ai org. The last counts the current size of the org.
What the mediar-ai org actually contains today
If you arrived here looking for “the screenpipe org” and ended up at mediar-ai by mistake, the project mix is now noticeably different. The center of gravity is automation, not recording. The repos below are the ones worth knowing about.
In the mediar-ai org
- terminator: a Rust + MIT SDK that drives Windows apps via UI Automation, the engine behind the commercial product.
- MacosUseSDK and mcp-server-macos-use: the macOS counterpart, ~500 combined stars and used by the company's macOS automation work.
- MCP-server-client-computer-use-ai-sdk: the ~190 star MCP wrapper that lets Claude/Cursor speak to the desktop SDKs.
- fazm: an unrelated consumer product the same team ships, ~180 stars.
- deep-research-pro, environments, playwright-mcp-orchestrator: smaller infra and tooling repos.
And if you came looking for the original screen-recorder project, here is what the screenpipe org looks like by itself.
In the screenpipe org
- screenpipe: the original 24/7 local screen and mic recorder, now under its own org.
- Built in Rust, MIT-flavored license, Tauri desktop app.
- Marketed as the open-source alternative to Rewind, Limitless, Microsoft Recall, Granola.
- Runs an MCP server out of the box so Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code can query screen history.
- Maintained at github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe, homepage screenpi.pe.
Why split a single org into two
A reasonable question: if both projects come out of the same team, why bother giving them separate orgs at all? The honest answer is that the two products solve different problems for different audiences and a shared org was starting to confuse both. Screen recording is a developer-and-prosumer tool with a brand (screenpi.pe), an MCP integration story, and a contributor base measured in the thousands. Windows desktop automation for enterprise RPA is a commercial product with a sales motion, a turn-key program, and an SDK that needs to evolve fast without churning the recording project.
Splitting the orgs lets each project keep its own README at the top of the GitHub org page, its own homepage, its own contributors and discussions. The recording project gets to look like a self-contained open-source community at github.com/screenpipe. The automation project gets to look like a focused commercial-leaning org at github.com/mediar-ai, anchored on terminator. The 301 redirect from the old path means none of the existing links break in the meantime.
If you came here looking for the current product
Some traffic to this page is people who searched the GitHub path because they were trying to find what Mediar is doing today, not the old project. The short version: Mediar AI is a Windows desktop automation platform that watches a workflow once, then executes it deterministically through Windows UI Automation. The runtime is built on terminator.
The longer version, with the source-level architecture of where the AI runs and where it does not, lives on the mediar-ai architecture page. The company background and the namesake clarification are on the company page.
Want to see what mediar-ai builds with terminator?
Bring a Windows workflow on a legacy desktop app and we will record it live in the call, then run it back deterministically in front of you. Same SDK that the open-source terminator repo exposes.
Frequently asked questions
Where did github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe go?
It was transferred to its own org and now lives at github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe. The old URL still works because GitHub keeps the alias and issues an HTTP 301 redirect. You can confirm the move yourself by running `curl -sI https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe`; the response includes the header `location: https://github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe`. Bookmarks, README links, and `git remote` URLs you wrote against the old path continue to resolve, GitHub just rewrites them on the way through.
How do you know it is the same repository, not a fork?
GitHub assigns every repo a permanent numeric id at creation, and that id does not change when the repo is renamed or transferred between orgs. Hit `https://api.github.com/repositories/817326197` and the JSON comes back with `full_name: screenpipe/screenpipe`. That same numeric id was attached to `mediar-ai/screenpipe` before the move. A fork would have its own id. Same id, same repo.
Is screenpipe abandoned now that it lives under a different org?
No. The screenpipe/screenpipe repository is actively maintained: as of May 2026 the latest push is from the same day, the repo carries 18.5k stars and 1.6k forks, and the homepage screenpi.pe is online. Splitting it into its own org was an organizational decision, not a deprecation. The same group of contributors still works on it.
Why did Mediar AI move screenpipe out of its main org?
Mediar started as the company that built screenpipe in mid-2024. As the team's commercial work shifted toward Windows desktop automation for enterprise RPA, the engineering center of gravity moved to a different repo: github.com/mediar-ai/terminator, created April 2025. Giving the open-source recorder its own org keeps it discoverable as a standalone open-source project (the contributor base, the homepage screenpi.pe, the brand) while letting the mediar-ai org focus on the SDK and apps the commercial product is built on.
What does the mediar-ai org actually contain in 2026?
Around 30 active repositories. The flagship is `mediar-ai/terminator` (1,431 stars, Rust, MIT, described as 'playwright for windows computer use'). Others worth knowing about: `MacosUseSDK` (the macOS counterpart, ~200 stars), `mcp-server-macos-use` (~290 stars), `MCP-server-client-computer-use-ai-sdk` (~190 stars), and `fazm` (~180 stars, an unrelated consumer product the same team ships). The broader org includes forks of `cpal`, `screencapturekit-rs`, `xcap`, and other audio/video plumbing that screenpipe originally pulled in.
Is terminator just a renamed screenpipe?
No, they are different projects with different jobs. Screenpipe records what is on your screen and microphone, indexes it locally, and exposes it to AI assistants over MCP so they can answer questions about your past work. Terminator does the opposite: it controls the desktop, finding UI elements via Windows UI Automation (the same accessibility API screen readers use) and dispatching real input events. Screenpipe watches; terminator acts. The Mediar commercial product is built on terminator, not screenpipe.
Can I still clone with the old URL?
Yes, but you should update your remote anyway. `git clone https://github.com/mediar-ai/screenpipe` will follow the redirect and check out the same code. After the clone, `git remote -v` will show the original URL because git captures whatever you typed; running `git remote set-url origin https://github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe.git` makes the local config match the new canonical path so future fetches do not depend on the redirect alias.
Did the license change with the move?
No. The repository is still under the same MIT-style license it shipped with originally; the GitHub API surfaces it as `NOASSERTION` because the repo's LICENSE file uses a non-standard notice header rather than the canonical SPDX boilerplate, but the practical license terms have not been altered by the org transfer.
