Glass is a digital mind extension desktop application forked from CheatingDaddy, built with Electron and Next.js. It lives invisibly on your desktop, capturing what you see and hear in real-time to provide proactive meeting assistance, action items, summaries, and answers based on structured knowledge from your daily activities.
Features include invisible operation (no screen recording or screenshot visibility), real-time meeting notes, context-aware AI responses, and support for multiple AI backends including OpenAI, Gemini, and local Ollama/Whisper. Built with TypeScript and TailwindCSS, it is available for macOS and Windows with local-first data storage.

This project is a fork of CheatingDaddy (https://github.com/sohzm/cheating-daddy) with modifications and enhancements. Thanks to Soham (https://x.com/soham_btw) and all the open-source contributors who made this possible!
🤖 Fast, light & open-source—Glass lives on your desktop, sees what you see, listens in real time, understands your context, and turns every moment into structured knowledge.
💬 Proactive in meetings—it surfaces action items, summaries, and answers the instant you need them.
🫥️ Truly invisible—never shows up in screen recordings, screenshots, or your dock; no always-on capture or hidden sharing.
