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

## Quick Start (Local Build)
### Prerequisites
First download & install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
If you are using Windows, you need to also install [Build Tools for Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
Ensure you're using Node.js version 20.x.x to avoid build errors with native dependencies.
```bash
# Check your Node.js version
node --version
# If you need to install Node.js 20.x.x, we recommend using nvm:
# curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
# nvm install 20
# nvm use 20
```
### Installation
```bash
npm run setup
```
