About Rivora
Modern engineering tools have grown increasingly intelligent, yet they still suffer from a fundamental flaw: they lack long-term memory. Enter Rivora, an open-source, local-first engineering memory layer designed to bridge this gap. Created by design engineer and founder Sergio Rovira, Rivora connects your everyday engineering activity into a durable, highly searchable memory bank.
By prioritizing a local-first architecture, Rivora ensures that your sensitive engineering knowledge, incident investigations, and workflow conclusions never have to leave your machine or be sent to a third-party cloud. Whether you are troubleshooting critical incidents, verifying conclusions, or trying to learn from previous work to continuously improve your development lifecycle, Rivora provides the persistent contextual memory that modern developer tools are missing.
Pros of Rivora
- Open-source software giving you full transparency and community collaboration
- Local-first architecture keeps your engineering data secure on your own infrastructure instead of a third-party cloud
- Connects disparate engineering activities into a single, durable, and searchable memory layer
- Helps teams investigate incidents, verify conclusions, and learn from past work effectively
Cons of Rivora
- Relatively new tool with a growing community and limited initial reviews
- Requires local setup and management as a self-hosted or local-first developer tool
- Specific native integrations beyond the core open-source framework are not explicitly detailed
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rivora?

Is Rivora open source?
Yes, Rivora is an open-source developer tool created by design engineer and founder Sergio Rovira.
Where is my engineering data stored with Rivora?
Rivora features a local-first approach, meaning your engineering knowledge and data stay private without needing to be sent to someone else's cloud.
About AI Eyes
AI Eyes is a permission-first co-presence prototype designed for AI companions. Created by developer Deen Storkey, this open-source tool establishes a privacy-focused, local-first foundation for managing what your digital companions can see and hear.
With its initial v0.1 release, AI Eyes allows users to choose a specific screen or window to capture and gives granular, separate controls for screen, system audio, and microphone inputs. The interface makes it easy to invite named companions and ensures transparency by always displaying when sensing is active. Users can pause or end sessions at any time; ending a session immediately stops all media tracks and resets the session completely.
Built using Codex and GPT-5.6, this prototype is focused entirely on local-first permission, presence, and session-control. Please note that in this foundational stage, no external AI provider or semantic understanding has been connected yet.
Pros of AI Eyes
- Privacy-focused, local-first permission architecture
- Separate, granular control over screen, system audio, and microphone capture
- Clear visual indicators showing when active sensing is occurring
- Open-source code base allowing developers to review and build upon the prototype
Cons of AI Eyes
- It is a prototype (v0.1) and does not yet have an active AI provider or semantic understanding connected
- Limited to foundational capture and session-control features at this stage
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI Eyes?
AI Eyes is an open-source, permission-first co-presence prototype built to manage what AI companions can access. It provides local-first controls over screen sharing, audio, and session state.
Does AI Eyes currently analyze my screen or voice?
No. In the v0.1 release, no AI provider or semantic understanding is connected. The prototype is currently a local-first foundation focused on permission, capture, presence, and session-control.
How do I control my privacy while using AI Eyes?
AI Eyes lets you choose exactly which screen or window to capture and gives you separate toggle controls for your screen, system audio, and microphone. There is also a clear indicator to show when sensing is active, and you can pause or end the session to stop all media tracks instantly.
What technologies were used to build AI Eyes?
The AI Eyes prototype was built using Codex and GPT-5.6.
