Littlebird is a desktop personal AI assistant that builds private work memory by observing your active window (not a keylogger or screen recorder), then powers chat, meeting notes, routines, and an MCP server so other AI clients can use that context.

Review notes
Context from the listing review and editorial research.
NEW tool. Raised seed funding (company materials cite $11M, March 2026). Privacy messaging is central; still requires trust in encrypted cloud index (US East). Distinct from bird-themed social apps.
Extended features
In-depth description and capability notes.
Active-window context capture with exclusions, pause, and redaction controls
Chat with work memory, Max mode, attachments, image generation
Bot-free meeting notes (10+ languages) from system audio
Routines (scheduled prompts: briefings, recaps)
Hummingbird overlay (Mac) and Glance panel
MCP server (mcp.littlebird.ai) for Cursor/Claude/ChatGPT (Power+)
Optional integrations (Gmail, Calendar, Notion, Outlook, Todoist, etc.)
SOC 2; optional HIPAA via in-app BAA on eligible plans
Use cases
Knowledge workers install Littlebird on Mac/Windows so meeting notes, chats, and routines already know their projects—and optionally expose that memory to Cursor or Claude via MCP.
