Glass by Pickle: Digital Mind Extension 🧠

> 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! > Currently, we're working on a full code refactor and modularization. Once that's completed, we'll jump into addressing the major issues. You can find WIP issues & changelog below this document. 🤖 **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.
