Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db.

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db

Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls

(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with.

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes

— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?

--disable-audio

I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:

Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in
~/.screenpipe/data/
with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in

with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in

with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db.

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in

with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.
Let me write both:

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

to the sync pipeline, plus the

index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id
as
rowid
, so after a reinstall they'd get id-collisions on insert and
INSERT OR IGNORE
would silently skip. Within a single install this is fine; after reinstall you'd fall back to
LIKE
queries on the base tables (still filterable by
install_id
). I noted this in the script. Fixing it properly needs a synthetic rowid scheme which we can do later if you actually hit it.

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

Architected multi-install sync with audio support and retention
Good, that clarifies the audio layout — audio files live flat in

with the date in the filename (not in date subdirs like frames), and the schema gives us
audio_chunks
+
audio_transcriptions
+
speakers
+
speaker_embeddings
+
audio_tags
plus the FTS table on transcriptions.
Plan I'll implement:
install_id
: stored as a UUID in
~/.screenpipe/.sync_install_id
— disappears when the directory is wiped (which is what you want on reinstall). Every synced NAS table gets an
install_id TEXT
column and a
UNIQUE(install_id, id)
index. The script auto-migrates the existing NAS archive by adding the column and tagging legacy rows with
legacy-YYYYMMDD
so historical data is still queryable but doesn't conflict with future installs.
Audio sync
: adds
audio_chunks
,
audio_transcriptions
,
speakers
,
speaker_embeddings
,
audio_tags
to the sync pipeline, plus the
audio_transcriptions_fts
index. Audio files go to
$NAS_DATA/<date>/audio/
(sibling to the frames in the same date dir, keeps daily archives self-contained).
Retention
is a separate manual script — dry-run by default,
--apply
to delete. Hits DB rows, frame directories, audio mp4s, and screenpipe logs. Optional
--vacuum
with a warning (screenpipe must be stopped to avoid blocking writes for minutes).
One caveat I'm punting on: the FTS tables use source
id

Lets start from the beginning with the fresh mind. There is a script for screenpipe to copy data for day from mac to nas. There are two issues I want to work with. Firsts if I reinstall the mac version it starts from fresh id 1. That causes some issues. How to make sure the data are valid. I don't want some overcomplicated flow. I was thinking about making new db every 3 months. Secodn issue is that I wan to implement cleanup (retention policy) on mac original screenpipe db. I want script that will remove data that are 7 days old or older for example. ANd lastly I want to extedn the script to work with audio as well. What od you need

Analyzed three technical challenges and identified clarifying questions needed
Good plan to tackle these together — they interact (retention timing depends on sync timing, audio sync depends on schema shape, ID strategy depends on whether reinstalls have already happened). Before I touch the script, a few things:
Issue 1 — ID collisions / archive rotation
Has a reinstall already happened, or is the current
archive.db
still from one continuous install? If collisions already exist I need to handle that first; if not, we have a clean slate.
Quarterly rotation works, but it doesn't actually solve reinstalls
within
a quarter. A cleaner option that I'd lean toward: add an
install_id
column (UUID generated once and stored in a tiny
_meta
table in the source DB) to every synced table, and make
(install_id, id)
the logical key. FK joins just gain one extra predicate. Reinstall → new install_id → no collisions, ever. You can still rotate the archive DB quarterly for file-size reasons, but it's no longer load-bearing.
Do you ever run cross-period queries (e.g. "every frame mentioning JY-20458 across all time")? That answers whether quarterly sharding is acceptable or whether one growing DB is better.
Issue 2 — Mac-side retention
Your launch command already has
--retention-days 7
. Is that not actually deleting anything, or do you want a separate scripted retention you can trust/observe independently?
Should retention also wipe the matching
~/.screenpipe/data/data/YYYY-MM-DD/
folders, or only DB rows? (CLI flag does both I believe; a script should match.)
Run order matters: sync writes
yesterday
, retention deletes
>7 days old
— no overlap, but I'd still chain them (sync → retention → log) in one cron entry so a failed sync blocks the delete. OK with that?
Issue 3 — Audio
Your current launch flag is
--disable-audio
, so right now there's no audio data to sync. Are you planning to enable it, or is this just to future-proof the script?
I need the audio schema. Could you run this and paste the output:
Copy to clipboard
sqlite3 ~/.screenpipe/db.sqlite ".schema" | grep -iE -A 20 "audio|transcription"
And:
ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
so I can see what audio files look like on disk alongside the mp4 frames.
Once I have those, I'll restructure the script in one go rather than piecemeal.

ok lets add install_id. Lets add separate script deleting data again from data and it should also remove logs and data. Make it manual script for now. I will remove --disable-audio from alias and run it without. I wan to have audio as well. lukas@Lukas-Kovaliks-MacBook-Pro-Jiminny ~ $ ls ~/.screenpipe/data/data/$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)/ | head
