Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):

→
video_chunks.evicted_at

model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories

Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Claude responded: Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):

→
video_chunks.evicted_at

20260504120000 add document path column

20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new

model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):

video_chunks.evicted_at

model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted

frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns

Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".

Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id

If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (

) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.
The partial indexes (with
WHERE ... IS NOT NULL
) handle this elegantly — they ignore old rows entirely, so they stay small and only grow with new data.
Run this now against the NAS archive
Run this now against the NAS archive
Two partial indexes — they index only the rows that actually have data, so they're effectively instant on your 10G archive (currently zero qualifying rows):

alone is useless (boolean = 2 distinct values, low selectivity). The composite-partial form is what you actually want — it pre-filters to visible elements with text, anchored on
frame_id
for join performance, and complements rather than replaces your existing
idx_elements_frame_src_role
.
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
In the "creating indexes" heredoc in
screenpipe_sync.sh
, add these two lines alongside the existing ones:
Edited a file, ran a command
Edited a file, ran a command
On a fresh machine, the flow is:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... AS SELECT * FROM main.frames WHERE 0
clones the source schema (so the columns appear automatically), and then
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
builds the partial indexes — both effectively no-ops since fresh data populates as it syncs. So yes, the patched script handles fresh installs correctly without further intervention.
Updated daily activity summary prompt
Updated daily activity summary prompt
This uses both new columns, falls back gracefully for old data, and keeps the Europe/Sofia timezone conversion you already have.
Created a file, read a file
Created a file, read a file
Summary of what to do, in order
Summary of what to do, in order
Now
: run the two
CREATE INDEX
statements above against
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
(sub-second since both are partial indexes on currently-empty conditions).
Replace your existing script
with the patched
screenpipe_sync.sh
— it has both the schema-drift handling from before and the two new indexes baked in.
Run a test sync
for 2026-05-07 — should now succeed, with the
Reconciling NAS schema with source
step adding the missing columns to your existing 10G archive in one shot.
From May 7 forward
, queries against the NAS will see populated
document_path
and
on_screen
data. The new daily prompt will start producing useful file-level breakdowns; for backfilled days where those columns are NULL, it falls back to
window_name
grouping and notes the limitation.
One side-thought for your meeting detector: when you next iterate on
pipeline.py
, swap the participant scan to
WHERE on_screen = 1 OR on_screen IS NULL
— old data still works, new data gets noise filtering for free. Same one-line change.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file

I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script

Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types

table_exists

,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):

video_chunks.evicted_at

20260506120000 add memories sync columns

Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.
The partial indexes (with
WHERE ... IS NOT NULL
) handle this elegantly — they ignore old rows entirely, so they stay small and only grow with new data.

Two partial indexes — they index only the rows that actually have data, so they're effectively instant on your 10G archive (currently zero qualifying rows):
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
<<
'SQL'
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_frames_document_path
ON frames(document_path) WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_elements_onscreen_frame
ON elements(frame_id) WHERE on_screen = 1 AND text IS NOT NULL;
SQL
Note on the second index: a plain index on
on_screen
alone is useless (boolean = 2 distinct values, low selectivity). The composite-partial form is what you actually want — it pre-filters to visible elements with text, anchored on
frame_id
for join performance, and complements rather than replaces your existing
idx_elements_frame_src_role
.
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
In the "creating indexes" heredoc in
screenpipe_sync.sh
, add these two lines alongside the existing ones:
Edited a file, ran a command
Edited a file, ran a command
On a fresh machine, the flow is:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... AS SELECT * FROM main.frames WHERE 0
clones the source schema (so the columns appear automatically), and then
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
builds the partial indexes — both effectively no-ops since fresh data populates as it syncs. So yes, the patched script handles fresh installs correctly without further intervention.
Updated daily activity summary prompt
Updated daily activity summary prompt
This uses both new columns, falls back gracefully for old data, and keeps the Europe/Sofia timezone conversion you already have.
Created a file, read a file
Created a file, read a file
Summary of what to do, in order
Summary of what to do, in order
Now
: run the two
CREATE INDEX
statements above against
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
(sub-second since both are partial indexes on currently-empty conditions).
Replace your existing script
with the patched
screenpipe_sync.sh
— it has both the schema-drift handling from before and the two new indexes baked in.
Run a test sync
for 2026-05-07 — should now succeed, with the
Reconciling NAS schema with source
step adding the missing columns to your existing 10G archive in one shot.
From May 7 forward
, queries against the NAS will see populated
document_path
and
on_screen
data. The new daily prompt will start producing useful file-level breakdowns; for backfilled days where those columns are NULL, it falls back to
window_name
grouping and notes the limitation.
One side-thought for your meeting detector: when you next iterate on
pipeline.py
, swap the participant scan to
WHERE on_screen = 1 OR on_screen IS NULL
— old data still works, new data gets noise filtering for free. Same one-line change.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.

Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).

table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.

Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements

video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.

One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.
The partial indexes (with
WHERE ... IS NOT NULL
) handle this elegantly — they ignore old rows entirely, so they stay small and only grow with new data.
Run this now against the NAS archive
Run this now against the NAS archive
Two partial indexes — they index only the rows that actually have data, so they're effectively instant on your 10G archive (currently zero qualifying rows):
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
<<
'SQL'
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_frames_document_path
ON frames(document_path) WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_elements_onscreen_frame
ON elements(frame_id) WHERE on_screen = 1 AND text IS NOT NULL;
SQL
Note on the second index: a plain index on
on_screen
alone is useless (boolean = 2 distinct values, low selectivity). The composite-partial form is what you actually want — it pre-filters to visible elements with text, anchored on
frame_id
for join performance, and complements rather than replaces your existing
idx_elements_frame_src_role
.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Both columns will be

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.

What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):

→
video_chunks.evicted_at

Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script

Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win....

is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted

But the workflow vou actually want — Mac holds a rolling 7-davwindow, NAS holds everything historical - means the two databases never overlap in time.Mac always has only recent data. NAS has everything older. So:• Mac source IDs stay monotonic forever because you only ever DELETE old rows(DELETE preserves sqlite_sequence ).

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.

Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→

model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted

20260506120000 add memories sync columns

Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.

Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers

) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.
The partial indexes (with
WHERE ... IS NOT NULL
) handle this elegantly — they ignore old rows entirely, so they stay small and only grow with new data.
Run this now against the NAS archive
Run this now against the NAS archive
Two partial indexes — they index only the rows that actually have data, so they're effectively instant on your 10G archive (currently zero qualifying rows):
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
<<
'SQL'
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_frames_document_path
ON frames(document_path) WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_elements_onscreen_frame
ON elements(frame_id) WHERE on_screen = 1 AND text IS NOT NULL;
SQL
Note on the second index: a plain index on
on_screen
alone is useless (boolean = 2 distinct values, low selectivity). The composite-partial form is what you actually want — it pre-filters to visible elements with text, anchored on
frame_id
for join performance, and complements rather than replaces your existing
idx_elements_frame_src_role
.
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
In the "creating indexes" heredoc in
screenpipe_sync.sh
, add these two lines alongside the existing ones:
Edited a file, ran a command
Edited a file, ran a command
On a fresh machine, the flow is:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... AS SELECT * FROM main.frames WHERE 0
clones the source schema (so the columns appear automatically), and then
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
builds the partial indexes — both effectively no-ops since fresh data populates as it syncs. So yes, the patched script handles fresh installs correctly without further intervention.
Updated daily activity summary prompt
Updated daily activity summary prompt
This uses both new columns, falls back gracefully for old data, and keeps the Europe/Sofia timezone conversion you already have.
Created a file, read a file

Summary of what to do, in order
Summary of what to do, in order
Now
: run the two
CREATE INDEX
statements above against
/Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
(sub-second since both are partial indexes on currently-empty conditions).
Replace your existing script
with the patched
screenpipe_sync.sh
— it has both the schema-drift handling from before and the two new indexes baked in.
Run a test sync
for 2026-05-07 — should now succeed, with the

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.

Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name...

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen

20260501000000 add redacted columns

model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.
The partial indexes (with
WHERE ... IS NOT NULL
) handle this elegantly — they ignore old rows entirely, so they stay small and only grow with new data.
Run this now against the NAS archive
Run this now against the NAS archive
Two partial indexes — they index only the rows that actually have data, so they're effectively instant on your 10G archive (currently zero qualifying rows):

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

What's happening

Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:

Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):

→
video_chunks.evicted_at

Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix

Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive.
Explicit column lists in INSERT
— never
SELECT *
again. Build the column list dynamically from
PRAGMA table_info(<table>)
and use
INSERT INTO t (cols) SELECT cols FROM ...
. Now positional drift is structurally impossible.
Bonus: dropped columns in future migrations will also be handled gracefully — the archive keeps the column with NULLs for new rows, no errors.
Let me write the updated script.
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
Created a file, ran a command, read a file
What changed in the script
What changed in the script
Three additions, everything else preserved:
Schema helpers
(
table_columns_with_types
,
table_columns
,
table_exists
,
ensure_columns
,
build_col_list
) — pure bash + sqlite3 PRAGMA, no extra deps.
New "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step
— runs after
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
, before indexes/FTS/inserts. For each table in
SYNC_TABLES
, it diffs source columns against NAS and
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
s the missing ones. Output looks like:
Copy to clipboard
schema: frames ✓ added 4: cloud_blob_id document_path image_redacted_path text_redacted
schema: elements ✓ added 2: on_screen text_redacted
schema: video_chunks ✓ added 1: evicted_at
Explicit column lists in every INSERT
—
FRAMES_COLS=$(build_col_list frames)
builds
"id","timestamp","app_name",...
from source
PRAGMA table_info
, and the inserts use
INSERT INTO nas.t (cols) SELECT cols FROM main.t
. No more positional mapping. Column names are double-quoted so any future hyphens or reserved-word columns won't break parsing.
What to expect on the next run
What to expect on the next run
First run after dropping it in: the "Reconciling NAS schema with source" step will print the missing columns it adds to your existing 10G archive (4 on
frames
, plus a few on
elements
/
video_chunks
/
ocr_text
). Each
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
is a metadata-only op in SQLite — no table rewrite, no VACUUM needed, total cost should be sub-second even on the 10G file. Then 2026-05-07 will sync normally.
After that, when Screenpipe ships the next migration, your sync just picks up the new columns automatically. No more breakage.
One thing worth knowing
One thing worth knowing
If Screenpipe ever
drops
a column in source (rare but possible — they did
drop ui monitoring
and
drop dead fts tables
earlier), the NAS will still have it, and
build_col_list
(sourced from
main
) won't reference it. New rows will have NULL for the orphaned column, old rows keep their data. That's the right archival behavior — but if you ever want to actually drop those orphan columns from NAS, that's a manual
ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN
which SQLite has supported since 3.35 (your macOS Tahoe ships 3.43+, and your NAS Docker SQLite is fine).

Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Cataloging PII redactor capabilities and security categories
Good question. Let me look at what these new columns actually do and which ones map to your setup, since not all of them are equal value for you.
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Evaluated four practical database columns for his specific workflow needs
Yeah, three of them are genuinely useful for your setup. The rest are cloud-sync plumbing you can ignore.
frames.document_path — most useful for you
frames.document_path
— most useful for you
Captures the path of the document/file open at frame time. This is a meaningful upgrade over relying on
app_name
+
window_name
for IDE work.
Concrete uses given your stack:
Daily activity summary
: instead of "spent 2h in PhpStorm", you can group by
document_path
and get "spent 2h in
app/Http/Controllers/ReportsController.php
" — directly tied to the JY-20458 work.
Ticket correlation
: branch names contain ticket IDs in PhpStorm window titles, but file paths are cleaner. Query
WHERE document_path LIKE '%/reports/%'
to slice by feature area.
Replaces some of the
LIKE '%JY-%'
fishing
: your hyphenated-token issue with FTS5 mostly comes up in OCR text. For "what was I working on",
document_path
skips OCR entirely.
Worth adding an index on the NAS:
Copy to clipboard
sql
CREATE
INDEX
IF
NOT
EXISTS
idx_frames_document_path
ON
frames
(
document_path
)
WHERE
document_path
IS
NOT
NULL
;
elements.on_screen — directly useful for the meeting detector
elements.on_screen
— directly useful for the meeting detector
This is a boolean for whether the element was actually visible (vs. in the accessibility tree but scrolled off / occluded / behind a collapsed panel).
For your
meeting-detector
pipeline:
Zoom's accessibility tree exposes
everyone
on the call, including names in collapsed roster panels. Adding
WHERE on_screen = 1
cuts the participant detector down to people whose name tile was actually rendered — much closer to "who was visible during this segment".
For daily summaries: weights time-on-element by visibility, so reading vs. having-a-tab-open look different.
Cheap to add, big signal-to-noise win.
PII redaction columns (text_redacted etc.) — useful but with caveats
PII redaction columns (
text_redacted
etc.) — useful but with caveats
The model behind these is
screenpipe/pii-redactor
, fine-tuned for accessibility trees, OCR'd screen text, and computer-use traces. Detects 12 categories including a
secret
class that catches passwords, API keys, JWTs, DB connection strings, and PRIVATE-KEY markers — exactly the stuff that leaks into your captures during Laravel/Salesforce/HubSpot dev work.
For your setup, this maps well because:
The NAS archive is the consumer, queried by Claude Code agentically. Pointing those queries at
text_redacted
rather than
text
reduces the blast radius if a prompt or tool result ends up somewhere unexpected.
Your Mac captures Jiminny customer data on every call. Redacted text is safer for archival queries that don't need exact content (which is most of them).
Caveats worth knowing before flipping it on:
Probably opt-in.
Migrations only added the columns; redaction itself almost certainly needs a flag (worth checking
screenpipe record --help
for something like
--enable-pii-redaction
). Without enabling, the columns just stay NULL.
Over-redacts on short strings
: ~8% on accessibility/window titles, ~16% on long-form. Bulgarian names + Slovak surnames in your genealogy notes will likely trigger false positives. Keep the unredacted
text
column for cases where you need ground truth.
Model license is CC BY-NC 4.0
— non-commercial only, so not suitable for anything Jiminny-business related; fine for personal use.
Practical pattern: query
text_redacted
by default, fall back to
text
only when you explicitly need the raw value.
video_chunks.evicted_at — minor diagnostic value
video_chunks.evicted_at
— minor diagnostic value
When the local retention policy prunes a chunk, this stamps the time. Given your 7-day retention + nightly sync to NAS, you could add a preflight check that warns if a chunk got evicted before its frames were synced (would mean you have frame metadata pointing to deleted video). Realistically your nightly sync at 3am is well inside the 7-day window, so this is more "nice diagnostic" than "must-use".
Skip these
Skip these
frames.cloud_blob_id
,
memories sync columns
— for the optional E2EE cloud sync feature. You self-host, you don't need them. Stays NULL.
If you want, I can draft a small SQL migration for the NAS-side indexes (
document_path
,
on_screen
) and a tweaked version of your daily-activity-summary Claude Code prompt that uses
document_path
for grouping. Both are short.

yes do it. I want frames.document_path and elements.on_screen. Do I need to add it to the script as well (if running for the first time on new machine). But for archive.db on nas I need to add it now. Also what would be the effect on older data if don't have data there?

Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Architected migration strategy, index optimization, and data continuity implications
Three deliverables coming up: the immediate NAS migration, the script patch, and an updated daily-summary prompt. Plus a clean answer on the older-data question.
What happens to older data
What happens to older data
Both columns will be
NULL
for every row that's already in the archive. Screenpipe only started populating them on the migration dates (
document_path
from May 4,
on_screen
from May 2 in source — for your archive, from whenever you first sync data captured after those dates).
Practical implications:
WHERE document_path = 'foo'
— silently skips all old rows. Same for
WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL
.
WHERE on_screen = 1
— silently skips all old element rows (NULL is neither 1 nor 0).
WHERE on_screen = 0
— also skips them (NULL ≠ 0).
So queries using these columns are implicitly forward-looking.
No backfill is possible
— screenpipe didn't capture this signal at the time, the data simply doesn't exist for those moments. If you need a hybrid query (use
document_path
when present, fall back to
window_name
for older data), use
COALESCE(document_path, window_name)
or an explicit branching CASE.
The partial indexes (with
WHERE ... IS NOT NULL
) handle this elegantly — they ignore old rows entirely, so they stay small and only grow with new data.
Run this now against the NAS archive
Run this now against the NAS archive
Two partial indexes — they index only the rows that actually have data, so they're effectively instant on your 10G archive (currently zero qualifying rows):
Copy to clipboard
bash
sqlite3 /Volumes/screenpipe/archive.db
<<
'SQL'
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_frames_document_path
ON frames(document_path) WHERE document_path IS NOT NULL;
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_elements_onscreen_frame
ON elements(frame_id) WHERE on_screen = 1 AND text IS NOT NULL;
SQL
Note on the second index: a plain index on
on_screen
alone is useless (boolean = 2 distinct values, low selectivity). The composite-partial form is what you actually want — it pre-filters to visible elements with text, anchored on
frame_id
for join performance, and complements rather than replaces your existing
idx_elements_frame_src_role
.
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
Yes, add to the script for fresh installs
In the "creating indexes" heredoc in
screenpipe_sync.sh
, add these two lines alongside the existing ones:
Edited a file, ran a command
Edited a file, ran a command
On a fresh machine, the flow is:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... AS SELECT * FROM main.frames WHERE 0
clones the source schema (so the columns appear automatically), and then
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS
builds the partial indexes — both effectively no-ops since fresh data populates as it syncs. So yes, the patched script handles fresh installs correctly without further intervention.
Updated daily activity summary prompt

This uses both new columns, falls back gracefully for old data, and keeps the Europe/Sofia timezone conversion you already have.

Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Claude responded: Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix

Two changes make this future-proof:...

It worked up to the point where I attemtped to remove it and install again since the retention policy doesn't clear old data and it was to big. I am basically moving data to nas and query it form there. mac is for capture only or lets say one week query using claude code. THe main consumer and interface is on nas. How to make it work so new changes won't messup my setup. Seems like I removed the whole folder it was working find runnign with @letest even I may be wrong.

Claude responded: Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Pinpointing schema mismatches from recent PII redaction migrations
Looking at this carefully, the error tells the whole story:
Copy to clipboard
table nas.frames has 24 columns but 30 values were supplied
Your source DB got 6 new columns from recent migrations, but the NAS archive was created earlier with the old schema.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op when the table exists, so the NAS schema is frozen at whatever it was when first created. Then
INSERT ... SELECT *
does positional mapping, which blows up the moment column counts diverge.
Let me verify the recent screenpipe changes and then fix this properly.
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
Diagnosed schema drift, architected resilient migration strategy
What's happening
What's happening
The error is schema drift, not a screenpipe bug. Your source DB grew 6 columns from these migrations (most landed late April / early May with the PII work):
20260429000000 add evicted at to chunks
→
video_chunks.evicted_at
20260502000000 add elements on screen
→
elements.on_screen
20260504120000 add document path column
→
frames.document_path
20260501000000 add redacted columns
→ redacted columns on frames/ocr_text/elements (this is the big one — accompanies the new
screenpipe/pii-redactor
model)
20260503000000 add frames image redacted
→
frames.image_redacted_path
20260506120000 add memories sync columns
→ memories table
Your NAS
archive.db
was created before these landed.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
is a no-op on existing tables, so the NAS schema froze. Then
INSERT INTO nas.frames SELECT * FROM main.frames
does
positional
mapping → 30 source values into a 24-column NAS table → parse error.
You weren't wrong about
npx screenpipe@latest
working: removing the folder gave you a fresh local DB with the new schema, and querying still works because everything is on one schema. The mismatch only surfaces when you try to merge old + new schemas via the sync.
The fix
The fix
Two changes make this future-proof:
ensure_columns
— before each insert, diff source vs NAS columns and run
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN
for any new ones. SQLite handles this as a metadata-only op, so it's instant even on your 10G archive....
