What MemoryLane is
MemoryLane is desktop software from SenseFlow, Inc. that captures work activity in the background, maps workflows, and highlights repetitive tasks that may be candidates for automation. It can turn captured workflows into process maps, SOPs, and prompts for AI agents. Its task-mining description says processes are ranked by automation potential using measures such as weekly hours and estimated cost. Listed uses include process mapping, finding automatable tasks, writing SOPs, and helping onboard employees. MemoryLane runs on macOS and Windows, with managed AI, a user's own cloud endpoint or API key, and fully local models among the processing options. An optional local MCP server lets compatible assistants such as Claude and Cursor query local activity data once configured. Screenshots are captured at approximately one-second intervals during activity sessions and processed into text descriptions. Users can pause capture and blacklist apps or URLs; teams can apply a blacklist centrally. Semantic activity data is stored in a local SQLite database and is not transmitted to SenseFlow servers, according to the privacy policy. The Individual plan costs $100 per month; there is also a free plan.
