OpenAI Launches 'Chronicle' in Codex — Screen-Reading Memory Agent Draws Windows Recall Comparisons
OpenAI released Chronicle, an opt-in research preview for Codex on macOS that captures on-screen activity to build persistent memories about a user's projects, tools, and workflows — eliminating the need to re-explain context every session. Screen captures are stored locally and processed through ephemeral Codex sessions; resulting memories are saved as unencrypted markdown files that users can inspect and edit. Privacy researchers immediately drew parallels to Microsoft's controversial Windows Recall feature, noting memories are stored unencrypted and the feature consumes rate limits quickly.
